Santa Baby
Ariana Grande Liz Gillies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree
For me, (mhm) I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'd check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I wanna yacht and really that's not a lie
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight, ooh yeah

Santa honey, the one thing that I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
But I don't mean other phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

So hurry down the chimney tonight
(Waiting, hurry)




(Tonight)
Hurry down the chimney tonight

Overall Meaning

In this song, Ariana Grande makes a charming and playful plea to Santa Claus. She asks him to bring her gifts such as a sable, a 1954 convertible, the deed to a platinum mine, and a ring. As she makes her requests, she reminds Santa that she has been a good girl all year, and that he should check his Christmas list before deciding whether to grant her wishes. The song is filled with 1950s glamour and luxury, as Ariana asks for Tiffany’s decorations, a yacht, and more.


However, there is also a hint of longing in Ariana’s voice when she sings about the fun she has missed and the fellas she hasn’t kissed. This suggests that while she is happy to receive gifts, what she really wants is love and romance. Moreover, the fact that she asks for a ring at the end of the song indicates that she is ready for a serious and committed relationship. Overall, the lyrics to "Santa Baby" are both playful and heartfelt, making it a beloved holiday classic.
