Background

The song is Bananarama's first Christmas record, excluding their contribution to "Do They Know It's Christmas?". It is an original Christmas song written by group member Sara Dallin and producer Ian Masterson.

The song was originally only planned to be included on a US digital compilation album Super Dance Christmas Party Vol. 3, released in November 2010. However, the group and Masterson were pleased with the track, thus decided to make it available to purchase by download in the UK and Europe. The song was released digitally on 13 December 2010 without any record label support. Remixes by production team Almighty were issued for the occasion.

It is Bananarama's first song not to be released in a physical format.
