In “Santa Tell Me,” Ariana makes a wish to Santa Claus, pleading for him to not let her fall in love with her crush if they won’t be together in a year. She wants to make sure that the relationship is going to last before she puts her all into it.
In August 2014, Grande ended her relationship with YouTuber, Jai Brooks. Two months later, in October 2014, she confirmed being in a relationship with rapper, Big Sean. It is likely that “Santa Tell Me” is about Ariana’s hesitation at starting the new relationship with Big Sean, especially so soon after her breakup with Brooks.
She debuted the song during the A Very Grammy Christmas show.
The song is a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the Christmas Kisses EP, which was released on 3 December 2014. It is the EP’s fifth single.

[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again if he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year
[Verse 1]
Feeling Christmas all around
And I’m trying to play it cool
But it’s hard to focus when I see him walking ‘cross the room
“Let It Snow” is blasting out
But I won’t get in the mood
I’m avoiding every mistletoe until I know it’s
[Pre-Chorus]
True love that he thinks of
So next Christmas I’m not all alone, boy
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again if he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year
[Verse 2]
I’ve been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year’s Day, I woke up and he wasn’t by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it’s hard to tell if this is just a fling or if it’s
[Pre-Chorus]
True love that he thinks of
So next Christmas I’m not all alone, boy
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again if he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year
[Bridge]
Oh, I wanna have him beside me, like oh-woo-oh
On the 25th, by that fireplace, oh-woo-oh
But I don’t want a new broken heart
This year I’ve got to be smart
Oh, baby
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
If he will be, if he will be here
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
Oh, woah
[Chorus]
Santa, tell me (Santa, tell me) if you’re really there (‘Cause I really care)
Don’t make me fall in love again if he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me (Tell me) if he really cares (Tell me, boy)
‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year
[Outro]
Santa, tell me (Tell me) if you’re really there (Santa, baby)
Don’t make me fall in love again if he won’t be here next year (If he won’t be, if he won’t be here)
Santa, tell me (Tell me) if he really cares (Do you care?)
‘Cause I can’t give it all away if he won’t be here next year
