Background

Barlow began writing original songs for and working on the album due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, also saying that he "had never listened to those classic Christmas songs with the idea of singing them myself, but as this record evolved, so did my appreciation for these wonderful songs. It all started off as a bit of a dalliance in the studio and before I knew it, I had a whole album!"[4]
