“DJ Play A Christmas Song” è il primo singolo, scritto da Sara Hudson (Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Troye Sivan) e dal suo team che ha contribuito con quattro nuove canzoni all’album. Scritto principalmente a Los Angeles e Londra, Christmas è stato prodotto dal collaboratore di lunga data Mark Taylor (“Believe”). Le canzoni includono i classici duetti tra superstar come “What Christmas Means To Me” con Stevie Wonder e “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” con Darlene Love. (Darlene registrò per la prima volta la canzone con Phil Spector e una 17enne Cher che cantava nei cori); oltre a una struggente versione di “Home” scritta e cantata con Michael Bublé.
Il testo di “DJ Play A Christmas Song” di Cher
No one on the streets and the city is quiet
I should be asleep by the heat of the fire
But I’m on my way out
And I’m gonna stay out
I can feel the pulse as I walk in the door
Take me through the crowd
To the middle of the floor
The red and the green lights
Are hitting me just right
Nothing more, nothing less
I got one request
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s tough outside, but it’s love in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
Everybody here must be feeling the same
Need a little joy and a little escape
Feeling a spirit
You just wanna hear it
Nothing more, nothing less
I got one request
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s tough outside, but it’s love in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
That’s the only thing I want this year
That’s the only thing I want this year
That’s the only thing I want this year
That’s the only thing I want this year
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing, dancing all night long
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
DJ, play a Christmas song
I wanna be dancing all night long
It’s tough outside, but it’s love in here
And that’s the only thing I want this year
That’s the only thing I want this year
(DJ, play a Christmas song)
That’s the only thing I want this year
(I wanna be dancing all night long)
That’s the only thing I want this year
(It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here)
That’s the only thing I want this year
