Background and composition

Bieber first premiered the song live on the My World Tour on October 6, 2011, at Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [2] During the performance, Bieber confirmed that the song would be released on iTunes worldwide on October 17, 2011. [2] In an interview with MTV News, Bieber said, "I'm really excited. [The song is] really catchy. I know all my fans are going to love it. It's something that I feel like they're going to be singing every Christmas." [3]

"Mistletoe" was written and produced by Nasri, and Adam Messinger. [4] [5] It is a Christmas song that is sonically derived from the pop and R&B genres, while making use of reggae elements. [6] and soulful, acoustic R&B. [7] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Mistletoe" is set in common time with a "bounce" tempo of 80 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of A major [8] with Bieber's vocal range spanning from the low-note of E3 to the high-note of E5. [9] According to many reviewers, the song's production and Bieber's delivery bears much similarity to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours." [6] Bill Lamb of About.com went as far as to call the song "'I'm Yours' goes Christmas." [10] A Rolling Stone writer commented that "The song basically sounds like a laid-back Jack Johnson number with a bit of overdubbed sleigh bells." The song presents the maturation of Bieber's voice, with RJ Cubarrubia of Billboard writing that he sounded "smooth and intimate." [6] Lamb said "This track marks a distinct move toward a more adult sound on the part of 17 year old Justin Bieber." [10] The song, which includes subtle "Christmas flourishes" in the background arrangement, [10] opens up with jingle bells before an instrumental of guitar and bongos come in. [2]

Reception

Critical response

RJ Cubarrubia of Billboard first complimented the song, saying that "the stripped-down sound allows the young superstar to showcase how much he and his voice have grown," and that the chorus sounds "warm and fuzzy." [6] However he said "Bieber's breezy crooning and flat lyrics make 'Mistletoe' come off like an uninspiring, Jason Mraz-esque holiday track." [6] Cubarrubia commended Bieber for attempting to inject his charisma in such a track, but said "he's still far from the classic Christmas pop of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You"." [6] Although he said the song may feel a bit calculated, Bill Lamb of About.com complimented the song's "acoustic Jason Mraz vibe, the subtle seasonal touches, and adult sound. [10] Lamb predicted the song to be a likely seasonal hit for Bieber and commented, "The subtle wintry holiday chimes in the backing track make it obvious this is a seasonal release, but it will not be jarring when included on a standard pop playlist." [10] Jarett Wieselman of The Insider.com said the song "is pretty damn good" and went on to say "it's gonna be the biggest song of 2011." [11] Wieselman said "You can't deny the appeal of America's tween dream du jour dropping a track where he asks the listeners to 'kiss me underneath the mistletoe.' Well played young man, well played." [11]

In 2021, Rolling Stone placed "Mistletoe" at number 17 on its list of the worst Christmas songs of all time. [12] In 2023, The A.V. Club placed the song at number 14 on its own list of the worst Christmas songs of all time. [13]

[17] On recruiting White to shoot the video, Bieber explained, "Roman can tell a story really well, so we wanted to use him," Bieber explained. "He shot the 'One Less Lonely Girl' video, and I thought he did a great job; he shot the 'You Belong With Me' video with Taylor Swift, and he had a lot of great experience and a lot of great work." A teaser of the video was released on October 11, 2011. [3] The video itself premiered on October 18, 2011.
