This is awful. It sounds like a cross between ‘Christmas Wrapping’ and Robbie Williams ‘Candy’

There’s a lot of discourse online about this sounding like Candy. Robbie has also put something on Twitter/X “Merry Christmas Olivia Rodrigo” not sure if it’s a compliment or shade!

#2 in the Sunday first look. I suspect it'll drop down a bit come Friday, but might still be top 10.

You lot are Scrooges! I surprisingly love it?

This is much better than I was expecting based on the reaction here!

Reached a new peak on UK Apple Music just now, on Day 4. Impressive.

I can totally see why people aren’t keen on this, but it absolutely works for me! I like the sort of unbothered delivery of the song, it’s almost anti-Christmas in a way, but then there’s a quiet joy underlying the song too? It’s nice to hear another approach to a Christmas song that isn’t full-on festive joy.

Definitely hear the ‘Christmas Wrapping’/‘Candy’ comparisons.

This is a grower, really enjoying it! Has an almost nostalgic sound to it.
