Liam Payne's 'All I Want (For Christmas)' Is A Total Holiday Tearjerker

The holidays have come early! Immediately after teasing a new song called "All I Want (For Christmas)" earlier this week, Liam Payne has gifted us complete thing. And in the event you thought this could be a holly, jolly, Mariah Carey-esque bop, you couldn't have been more mistaken.


Payne's melancholy ballad is all about a ruptured yet (hopefully) mendable relationship that he prays will survive the holiday season. Immediately following the opening verse paints a dire picture of a couple constantly arguing, the second verse sounds more hopeful, as he asks his partner not to give up on him. "We made it by way of the hardest part / And I followed you, the brightest star," he sings. Tying it all with each other is the passionately delivered hook: "If we can make it through December / Maybe we'll make it through forever / 'Cos all I want for Christmas / Is you and me to repair this." 😢


The new song comes with a pretty, animated lyric video in which Payne streams his inner Jon Snow by wandering a wintry forest with his trusty wolf companion. Will he make it house to his pink-haired lover? Is it crazy to be crying over a Christmas song before Halloween is even here? Press play below to find out for yourself.


"All I Want (For Christmas)" is the latest taste of Payne's recently reported debut album, LP1. The 17-track collection arrives on December 6 as well as features previously released singles like "Stack It Up" featuring A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, "Strip That Down" with Quavo, and "Familiar" with J Balvin.
