"New in Town" is an electropop
song performed by English singer Little Boots. The
song was written by Victoria Hesketh and produced by
Greg Kurstin for Little Boot's debut album Hands
(2009). It was released as the album's lead single
on 25 May 2009 in the United Kingdom. The song was
inspired by the nights Little Boots spent in Los
Angeles recording the album. "New in Town" debuted
on the UK singles chart at number 13.
The music video was directed by Jake Nava in April 2009. It was filmed in Los Angeles and features Little Boots and a group of dancers wandering and dancing under a highway overpass. The video begins with Little Boots driving around Los Angeles in the back of a car. She is then shown wandering around under a highway overpass in a blue dress and dancing with a group of homeless people. This is followed by scenes of rival gangs dancing and young couples making out in their cars. The video has many similarities to Kylie Minogue's video for "Red Blooded Woman", which was also directed by Jake Nava.
