"New Romantics" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). The last Target-exclusive bonus track on the deluxe edition of the album, the song was released to iTunes Store on March 3, 2015 as the fifth promotional single and entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 71 due to digital sales. The following year, "New Romantics" was serviced to contemporary hit radio in the United States on February 23, 2016 through Big Machine Records and Republic Records as the seventh and final single from 1989 when it peaked at number 46.

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone ranked "New Romantics" as the 2nd best song of 2014, stating "I have no idea why she left a song this urgent and glittery and perfect off her album (it's a bonus track), but geniuses are weird".

The music video for "New Romantics" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and was officially released on April 6 as an Apple Music exclusive, and was made available on Swift's Vevo and YouTube channels on April 13, 2016. The video contains various clips of performances and behind-the-scenes footage taken from The 1989 World Tour.

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 71 due to strong digital download sales on the chart dated March 21, 2015, but fell off the chart the following week. After its release as a single in February 2016, the song also debuted at number 28 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart, and number at 26 on Adult Top 40.
