"Santa Tell Me" is a Christmas song by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released by Republic Records on November 24, 2014 and was included on the Japanese exclusive reissue of Grande's first EP Christmas Kisses (2013), as well as a "naughty version" on Grande's second EP Christmas & Chill (2015). The song was written by Grande, Savan Kotecha, and Ilya Salmanzadeh, who also served as its producer.

Commercially, "Santa Tell Me" reached the top 10 in Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as the top 20 in Belgium, Croatia, Ireland, Malaysia and the Philippines. The song entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 65 and later peaked at number 11, as the song continues to become a modern-day classic. [1] Additionally on Billboard Global 200 chart, "Santa Tell Me" peaked at number 5. The music video was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero and was released on Grande's official Vevo on December 12, 2014. [2] The song received its first performance at the 2014 A Very Grammy Christmas concert in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on November 18, 2014. [3]

Background

Grande released her first Christmas EP titled Christmas Kisses on December 17, 2013. [4] The extended play had a total of 4 songs, and included covers of classics, such as " Santa Baby" and Wham!'s " Last Christmas". It also contained two original songs: "Love Is Everything" and "Snow in California".

"Santa Tell Me" was first mentioned by Grande on Tuesday, October 28 in a livestream through Twitcam. [5] [6] In the livestream, she said that she didn't want to do a Christmas song at first, but she changed her mind. Grande also announced that a music video would accompany "Santa Tell Me", and that this song was her favorite Christmas song out of all of the ones she had recorded so far.

She officially announced the song and its title on her Twitter page on November 13, 2014, saying, "putting out a kewt Christmas song for u on nov 24th called Santa Tell Me! lil something for the holidays :) so excited #10DaysTilSantaTellMe." [7] It was also released to US mainstream radio. [8]

Promotion and release

Grande used the hashtag #10DaysTilSantaTellMe on Twitter to initiate the 10-day countdown of the song's release. She also performed the song for the first time on November 18, 2014, at the 2014 A Very Grammy Christmas concert in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA. [3] On November 18, Republic Records released the cover art of the song, which depicts a simple light pink background with "Santa Tell Me" written in the middle in golden script. [9] On November 21, Republic Records also released a 15-second snippet of "Santa Tell Me" through their Instagram page; the preview contained part of the chorus. [10] Grande tweeted the last hashtag on November 23, #SantaTellMeTonight. She also posted the iTunes link of the song, which was then available for pre-order. [11]

"Santa Tell Me" was released at midnight on November 24 on iTunes. [12] The audio was also uploaded to Grande's official YouTube channel, ArianaGrandeVevo on November 24. [13] Shortly after its release, the lyric video was uploaded to Vevo on November 26. It contains various photos of Grande from her childhood during Christmas. [14]

Composition

"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. [15]

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", [16] 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". [17]

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. [18]

Commercial performance

"Santa Tell Me" has recurrently charted in several nations every year since its original release in 2014. In the United States, "Santa Tell Me" debuted at number 65 on the weekly US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated December 13, 2014, and reached number 42 in its original run. [19] Six years later, "Santa Tell Me" re-entered the Hot 100 at a new high of number 39 on the chart issue dated December 19, 2020, earning Grande her 35th top 40 entry of her career. It has since peaked at number 11, becoming Grande's 25th top 20 hit on Billboard Hot 100. [19] The song also peaked at number seven on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart on the week ending December 27, 2014. It also topped the Billboard Holiday 100 chart on the week ending January 10, 2015, becoming only the third song, and second by a female artist, to do so since the chart's inception in 2010. As of 2024, it has been certified 4x Platinum for having sold 4 million units in the United States. On the Billboard Global 200, which tracks the most streamed and digitally sold songs in over 200 territories, "Santa Tell Me" peaked at number five, becoming Grande's third top-ten hit on the chart. [20]

In Canada, "Santa Tell Me" debuted at number 73 on the Canadian Hot 100, eventually reaching a peak of number 27 in its first chart run.

In 2015, it failed to re-enter the charts; however, in 2016, the song reached number 90. In 2017, it was among many other holiday songs (such as " Driving Home for Christmas" and " Step into Christmas") reaching new chart peaks in the UK by re-entering the UK Singles Chart at number 60, and climbing to an even higher position of number 29 the following week. It eventually reached number 13 on the week of December 28, 2018, attaining the same position once again the following year (in December 2019). In November 2023, "Santa Tell Me" re-entered the UK Singles Chart for an eighth consecutive year, reaching an overall peak position of number 8 in late December. With over 220 million plays "Santa Tell Me" is also the eighth most played Christmas track in the United Kingdom. It is the highest-placed modern Christmas song present in the top forty and the most streamed Christmas track in the United Kingdom released since 2010. [22] [23]

"Santa Tell Me" has been dubbed a modern Christmas standard for its popularity in music streaming services throughout the years during the Christmas season. [24] As of 2023, the song was reported to have earned $6.8 million in royalties. [25] [26]

Due to the song's lasting impact, Grande has been named "Princess of Christmas". [27] [28] As of December 2022, "Santa Tell Me" was one of the 10 most-streamed Christmas songs of all-time on streaming platform Spotify. [29]

The song was included in Billboard's revision of their Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs at 19th position. [30] Due to the song being internationally popular during the Christmas season, it has been covered multiple times by various artists, such as Pentatonix and Nayeon from Twice. [31]
