Background
The song was written by Pete Lee, Paddy O'Maley, Steve Nesfield and Kim and Ricky Wilde and recorded by Kim Wilde and Lawnmower Deth in 2017. It has been described as an "anti-Christmas song" and a "punk and thrash-metal crossover number with thrashing riffs and hardcore vocals."[2]
Wilde described working with the band as a "collaboration bound to happen" since joining them on stage at Download Festival in 2016, adding it was "a personal highlight of [her] career." She has previously stated that Lawnmower Deth’s cover of her debut single "Kids in America" is her favourite version of the track and credited the band with the idea of them collaborating on a Christmas song. Pete Lee, vocalist for Lawnmower Deth, said the collaboration was "the greatest project [the band has] been involved in."[2]
