* Single
* Remixes

"**Welcome To My Island**" is a song by singer-songwriter and record producer Caroline Polachek. It was released as the fourth single from Desire, I Want To Turn Into You on December 5, 2022.

The track was written by Polachek and produced by Daniel Nigro, Danny L Harle, Jim-E Stack and Polachek.

## Background

Polachek hinted the song's title in social media bios and the Sunset music video. The single was announced on December 1 2022 for release on the following December 5th. The song was written during the making of Pang in 2018 but it didn't make the final cut since she thought the song was ,,too bratty and stupid" but she meant it as a compliment.

On January 20 2023, a remix EP was released featuring a Charli XCX remix, produced by George Daniel, and a PVA remix.

Ooh-ooh

Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Ah-ah-ah-ooh-ah (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Ah-ah-ah-ah (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

[Verse]

Welcome to my island

See the palm trees

Wave in the wind

Welcome to my island

Hope you like me

You ain't leavin'

Welcome to my island

See the palm trees

Wave in the wind

Welcome to my island

Hope you like me

You ain't leavin'

[Chorus]

Desire (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

I wanna turn into you

Desire (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

I wanna turn into you

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh-ah-ah-ah

[Verse]

Welcome to my island

See the palm trees

Wave in the wind

Welcome to my island

Hope you like me

You ain't leavin'

[Chorus]

Desire (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

I wanna turn into you

Desire (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

I wanna turn into you

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

[Bridge]

I am my father's daughter in the end

He says, "Watch your ego, watch your head, girl

You're so smart, so talented

But now the water's turning red

And it's all your fault and it's all your mess

And you're all alone and can't go to bed

Too high on your adrenaline

You gotta go somewhere where you can't pretend

Go forget the rules, forget your friends

Just you and your reflection

'Cause nothing's gonna be the same again

No, nothing's gonna be the same again"

[Interlude]

Ooh-ooh

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Oh-oh, ah

[Chorus]

Desire (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

(Ha-ha-ha-ha)

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

Float on (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

The ocean blue

[Outro]

(Ha-ha-ha-ha)

(Ha-ha-ha-ha)
