"Santa Tell Me" is a Christmas song with influences of pop and R&B. It is written in the key of G major. Grande's vocals range from the low note of B3 to the high note of A5. Lyrically, the song features the protagonist asking Santa Claus to tell her if her new lover "really cares", and whether he will leave her like men in her past have.[ citation needed ]

Songwriters Savan Kotecha and ILYA wanted to write a Christmas song and the idea for "Santa Tell Me" came to Kotecha when he was taking a shower. In an interview with Songwriting Magazine, he said, "I was in the shower in LA and it just came into my head. I have the voice note somewhere. I just stepped out of the shower, got water all over the phone and I recorded it." The pair then swapped ideas before Grande came in and helped finish the song. [13]

Critical reception

Robbie Daw of Idolator opined that "Santa Tell Me" was a "cute, harmless stocking stuffer that ticks all the necessary boxes, in that there's classic instrumentation, a hummable chorus and lyrics that reflect a mixture of the festive season with the possibility of heartbreak at the holidays", [14] while Brian Mansfield of USA Today compared the song unfavorably to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You", stating that it fell short in its attempt at becoming a "seasonal staple". [15]

Billboard placed "Santa Tell Me" at number 13 on their "The 100 Best Christmas Songs of All Time" list. It is the highest-ranking song on the list among those released in the 21st century. [16]
