Happy Christmas
MAY'S Lyrics

The first verse of MAY'S's song Happy Christmas talks about getting ready for a special night out during the winter season. The singer is wearing a chic dress and high heels, opening the door to the sound of bells ringing as the city is lit up for the holidays. The phrase "Say Holy night" is also repeated, perhaps referencing the traditional Christmas hymn "Silent Night". The chorus emphasizes that this is a special night, a "Party night" for everyone to enjoy, and wishes the listener a happy Christmas in Japanese ("Merii Kurisumasu"). The second verse encourages listeners not to say they are not happy and to enjoy this "Special day" even if it means being a slightly different version of themselves. The imagery shifts to children singing and laughing, further capturing the joy of the holiday season. The song ends with an encouragement to forget any recent problems and dance the night away, reaffirming the message that happy moments will come to everyone.

Overall, "Happy Christmas" is an upbeat and optimistic song about enjoying the holiday season with loved ones and finding joy in the present moment. The focus on partying and forgetting one's worries may speak to the desire for escapism during a hectic time of year. The use of Japanese phrases and Christmas-related imagery may also appeal to listeners in Japan, where Christmas is a widely observed secular holiday despite minimal Christian influence.
