Carly Rae Jepsen is getting ready for Christmas, and the Canadian singer-songwriter's latest song, titled "It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries," will be released fairly soon, and we're working from home at the office. We look forward to streaming it.

Jepsen teased the existence of the new song in a social media post on Monday (Oct. 26) that showed a young CRJ next to a snowman, writing a ditty about Xmas vs. reality, "I'm not sure I'm ready for this. Should I publish it? Let's talk about Mr. Frosty the Triangle Snowman." The next day (October 27), she officially announced the song and its release date, and even released album art for the single.

Jepsen then released a sample of the cathartic, sad, but upbeat song. If your holiday season has reason to be depressing, this song might strike a chord. I'll have to tell myself that I can't listen to it on repeat.

It is unclear whether Jepsen will include the song on the album, but precedent dictates that he will not; Jepsen's 2015 cover of Wham's "Last Christmas" stood on its own as a great song, but was not included on subsequent albums. Perhaps the logic behind this is that Christmas songs do not fit the tone of her records.

"It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries" will be available on major platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music around midnight Eastern time tonight (aka around 2:00 am when October 30 begins).

There is no mention of the song on Jepsen's own website, so it seems unlikely that there will be a physical release or related merchandise. If there are any changes, this article will be updated.
