Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven′t felt no cheer in a while
Feel it getting cold and I start to hope
That Santa Claus brings me some luck
Last year was the hardest year of my life
So hey, what you doing?
Where you going? For the holidays
This Christmas
Grab somebody you love, make a wish on a star
See the lights in the dark (this Christmas)
And when you go to sleep, hope whatever you need
Shows up under the tree (this Christmas)
It's gonna be brighter (this Christmas)
It′s gonna be brighter
Can't fall asleep so I stay awake
Reminding me when I was a kid
Staying up 'til Christmas day
See the mistletoe and I start to hope
That Santa Claus brings me some love
Whoever you are, wherever you are
This Christmas
Grab somebody you love, make a wish on a star
See the lights in the dark (this Christmas)
And when you go to sleep, hope whatever you need
Shows up under the tree (this Christmas)
It′s gonna be brighter (this Christmas)
It′s gonna be brighter
Hey, what you doing? Where you going?
For the holidays
Whoever you are, wherever you are
Grab somebody you love, make a wish on a star
See the lights in the dark
And when you go to sleep, hope whatever you need
Shows up under the tree (this Christmas)
Grab somebody you love, make a wish on a star
See the lights in the dark (this Christmas)
And when you go to sleep, hope whatever you need
Shows up under the tree (this Christmas)
It's gonna be brighter (this Christmas)
It′s gonna be brighter
The song "This Christmas" by Wrabel is a ballad that reflects on the hardship and loneliness experienced by the artist in the previous year. The opening line, "Last year was the hardest year of my life", sets the tone for the entire song. The lyrics emphasize a longing for happiness, companionship, and love, which is the underlying theme of Christmas. Wrabel expresses his desire to be with someone, anyone, as long as it's someone he loves. He is reaching out to the listeners, encouraging them to take a moment to appreciate what they have and to be with people they love, no matter where they are. The chorus, "Grab somebody you love, make a wish on a star, see the lights in the dark" is an invitation to embrace the Christmas spirit and to share the joy with others.
The second verse highlights the seasonal symbolism of Christmas such as mistletoe and Santa Claus. The line "Can't fall asleep so I stay awake, reminding me when I was a kid, staying up 'til Christmas day" is a nostalgic reference to childhood excitement and anticipation for the holiday. The bridge of the song is a repetition of the chorus with the added line "It's gonna be brighter (this Christmas)" indicating a sense of hope and faith that this year's Christmas will be more joyful and fulfilling than the previous year.
Overall, "This Christmas" is a song about the power of the holiday to bring people together, to rekindle hope, and to give us a sense of belonging.

When I heard this on audio, my first thought was "Adam Levine". It's my first time listening to Wrabel. Your voice is amazing. Will never get over this song. It must be the 100th time I've listened to this song this Christmas 😌
