Village is dead
Gemini panic
Quick out of bed
Shuttle to Gatwick
Noodles for breakfast
Terrible tickets
I hate your tracksuit
Sister, I missed this
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Flying and flying and flying with you on my shoulder
Only one jacket, fine, you can have it, you're older
Land at 11, straight to 42nd, it's colder
And we're dancing down the street
[Chorus]
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
[Verse 2]
Give you an earphonе
Sleep on the last bus
What happened in Harlеm?
Don't even ask us
Sushi and a fake ID
You're Katy from Michigan
Wing woman
"He's fit, go for it"
But we wouldn't ever leave a sister behind
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
[Post-Chorus]
If you want to take her out, you're gonna have to ask me first
Come on, have you seen those eyes?
It's nothing but the best for her
Oh, if you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Flying and flying and flying with you on my shoulder
Only one jacket, fine, you can have it, you're older
Mum's in the car, she parked pretty far
I'm laughing, I told ya
I miss you already
[Chorus]
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
And if you want to take her out, you're gonna have to ask me first
Come on, have you seen those eyes?
It's nothing but the best for her
Oh if you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me
If you're looking, if you're looking for the girl of your dreams
She's in Brooklyn with me, she's in Brooklyn with me

This is about me and my twin sister Ellen going to New York when we were 19. We went to Gatwick, we had terrible tickets, we flew at 2 am, we had noodles for breakfast. This song literally just tells the story of that trip. I did it with [songwriter and producer] Frances [aka Sophie Cooke] and it came together quite naturally. It was funny—a lot of people wanted to produce this, but in the end Frances finished it, and it’s not dissimilar to the demo. Two women wrote and produced the song, and I think that’s really amazing.
