BASH shell script to quickly create and populate new test files

Question

# for i in {1..5} do echo "New File $i" > file$i done
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `>'

I tried the above single line script that failed with the error above. I am trying to automate the input process:

echo "New File" > file1  
echo "New File" > file2  
echo "New File" > file3  
echo "New File" > file4  
echo "New File" > file5  

I am trying to do this without creating a script file, for example below:

#!/usr/bin/env bash                                                                                                                                                                                       
for i in {1..5} 
  do  
    echo "New File $i" > file$i 
  done

This script works, but I want to be able to do something like this on a single line from the command line.

I understand that the problem is with redirecting >to a file. I tried to avoid redirecting a >few other things and googling, but I did not come up with something that worked.
