The 39-year-old vocal powerhouse dropped the animated music video of the lead single and shared a glimpse into the sweet medley to get into the holiday spirits on September 23. While the upbeat music is apt for the festival, the lyrics of the song paint a different picture as the singer sings about feeling content with enjoying the holiday all by herself in her house. She opened up about writing the lyrics and creating the song in her Instagram post. She wrote,

''My purpose for choosing this lyric as the title of this project was to bring forth a sense of reality to the fact that we are probably in very different places emotionally When Christmas Comes Around...' Some of us are consumed with a new love, some of us reminded of loss, some filled with optimism for the coming new year, others elated for some much deserved time away from the chaos our work lives can sometimes bring us.''

She also talked about being able to connect with everyone through her music, adding, ''Wherever you are, and whatever you may be experiencing, I wanted everyone to be able to connect to a message on this album. Each year you may even have a new favourite depending on where you are in your life, but while change can be unpredictable there is no better time of year, in my opinion, to breathe hope into one’s life and let possibility wander.''
