Christmas is eight days away, but that’s not stopping YK Osiris from getting into the holiday spirit a little early. Following the singer’s recent viral moments with Lil Baby and Drake, he has returned with what may just be his next hit — a fresh take on the classic holiday anthem, “This Christmas.”
The song was originally written and performed by the late, great Donny Hathaway, and since its release in 1970, “This Christmas” has gone on to be reimagined by artists such as The Temptations, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Seal, Eric Bellinger, and Pink Sweat$, among several others.
Now, YK Osiris adds his name to the pantheon of “This Christmas” covers, and his new single follows the style established in Chris Brown’s 2007 version, in which the intro to the song is performed slower with minimal instrumentation before the pace picks up in the second half.
YK Osiris – This Christmas
[Intro]
Hang all the mistletoe
I’m gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it’s gonna be together
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
[Verse 1]
Hang all the mistletoe
I’m gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it’s gonna be together
[Chorus]
This Christmas
Fireside is blazing bright
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
[Post-Chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand, y’all
Shake a hand, shake a hand, y’all
[Verse 2]
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do, oh, oh
[Chorus]
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright, woah, oh
We’re caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me
[Post-Chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand, y’all
Shake a hand, shake a hand, y’all
