Wikipedia article"'Moving to New York'" is a song by the English band the Wombats, taken from their debut album 'A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation'. It was originally released as a non-album single on 7-inch, in limited edition packaging, on 26 October 2006; it was re-released on 14 January 2008, two months after the release of the album. "Moving to New York" is considered one of the band's signature songs. Like one of their other signature songs, "Let's Dance to Joy Division", the song was written by lead singer Matthew Murphy after an experience he had at a nightclub in the band's home city of Liverpool; however, whereas "Let's Dance to Joy Division" was inspired by spending a joyous night out with his then-girlfriend, Murphy wrote "Moving to New York" after being told by a girl he liked that she was going to stay in for the night before he went out to a nightclub and saw her there. "Moving to New York" was classified Silver by the BPI in 2015, meaning it has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone.
