Dan + Shay have been making the media rounds and spreading holiday cheer over the last week with their two new original songs, “Take Me Home For Christmas” and “Christmas Isn’t Christmas.”
Dan Smyers tells us that the first song, “Take Me Home For Christmas,” is something that almost everyone can relate to. “This song is about that feeling whenever you’re with someone, you’re in a new relationship, you haven’t quite met their family yet . . . it’s about that time of year when everybody parts, they go their own ways for the holidays, but you just want to stay with that person, you want to spend Christmas with them, you want to spend New Years with them, you want to learn about their family, you want to learn about where they grew up. So, the song is basically just a story about that. That feeling that we felt with our wives when we first met them, and we got to go home and meet their families for the first time. We’re so proud of this song, and hopefully it can bring a little bit of joy into people’s lives this holiday season.”
Dan + Shay performed “Take Me Home For Christmas” on NBC’s Christmas In Rockefeller Center on Wednesday (Dec. 2nd) night.
Earlier this week, they sang “Christmas Isn't Christmas” on CMA Country Christmas.
