Dan + Shay are officially in the Christmas spirit with their festive new single, “Holiday Party,” which released on Friday (November 4). The country duo began teasing the new song earlier this week, wasting no time after Halloween came to an end. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney shared a snippet of “Holiday Party” on their social media channels, and Smyers hinted in the Instagram comments, “Should we drop it this week? 😇”
“We wrote this one the other day while we were working on the new album (which we are VERY excited about) and immediately jumped in the studio to record it so we could get it to y’all this holiday season,” Dan + Shay shared with another teaser earlier this week. “Since it’s so new, we don’t have an official music video or anything yet (we’re actually on set filming one right now as we speak lol), but here’s a little taste of the chorus. Hope it tastes as good as these cookies that [Shay Mooney] baked.”
“Holiday Party” joins previously-released Christmas music by Dan + Shay, including last year’s “Officially Christmas” and other festive fan-favorite tracks: “We'll throw a holiday party/ Don't tell anybody/ We'll pour us a drink and hang some lights on the tree/ We'll be jingle bell rockin’/ ’Til the neighbors come knockin’/ So turn up the fire, playin' on the TV/ Watchin' for Santa from the top of the roof/ While we're wrapped up in a blanket for two/ We'll throw a holiday party/ Holiday party/ For just me and you.”
