"New York City" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was released for digital download and contemporary hit radio on 3 May 2019 by BMG as a single from her greatest hits album, Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection (2019). Minogue, Karen Poole, and DJ Fresh wrote the song for the 2018 country-influenced album, Golden, but it was ultimately not included. Scottish musician Mylo received additional co-writing credit for the use of a sample from "Drop the Pressure" (2004).
Minogue previewed the then-unreleased "New York City" to positive reaction at the Bowery Ballroom promotional concert for Golden. After completing the recording, she included it in her Golden Tour setlist. The studio version features Minogue performing freestyle rap over a funk-pop, disco-pop, techno, and dance-pop infused track. Some music critics praised its nostalgic production and upbeat nature, while others found it lackluster. Commercially, "New York City" entered several airplay and digital component charts in Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe. A music video featuring footage from the Golden Tour was released days after the single release.
