Kedatangan "Christmas Kisses", album mini bertemakan Natal dari Ariana Grande di tahun lalu agaknya masih menyisakan passion bagi sang artis untuk kembali berdendang seputaran hari raya. Masih betah dengan tema cintanya, ia punya 'Santa Tell Me' yang ditulis bersama Savan Kotecha dan Ilya. Didengar sekilas, nuansa holiday-nya sangat terasa, pengaruh terbesar datang dari suara bel yang bergemerincing. Lainnya adalah persona paling populer di setiap moment akhir tahun, Santa Claus.
Jika satu permohonan tak terwujud, maka bermohonlah lagi. Skenario 'Let It Snow' tahun lalu ternyata tak bekerja bagi Ariana. Maka dari itu, 'Santa Tell Me' ini datang sebagai sekuelnya. Hanya saja, dia tak meminta untuk keberadaan seseorang lagi, melainkan permohonan agar terhindar dari yang namanya jatuh cinta. Ini perilaku smart, supaya ia tak mengalami broken heart.
Uber fun, super chic, over the top cuteness. Lupakan pencitraan Ariana saat ini yang terus menggali potensi seksualitas dan sensualitasnya guna menikmati single yang satu ini. Perangai itu tak mampu membendung kualitas catchy yang lagu ini punya. So what if she's a bad girl now, itu tak mempengaruhi 'Santa Tell Me' untuk menjadi sebuah bad song.

LYRIC
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Feeling Christmas all around
And I'm tryna' play it cool
But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room
"Let It Snow" is blasting out
But I won't get in the mood
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know
It's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
I've been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year's Day I woke up and he wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling
Or if it's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-oh-oh
On the 25th by the fireplace, oh-oh-oh
But I don't want a new broken heart
This year I've got to be smart
Oh, baby
If ya won't be, if ya won't be here!
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
