Centred by accordion and jingle bells, the track puts a modern spin on the "Fairytale of New York" seasonal staple, following two former lovers as festive lights revive memories of their parting. Daniel Harkins, guitarist-vocalist of the Falkirk band, wrote the duet with Rianne Downey in mind; the pair have crossed paths on the Scottish music scene over the years.

In a statement, Brògeal described the song’s narrative as a “tale... told between a man and a woman who haven’t seen each other in quite some time; it is unbeknownst to the couple whether the other is still in love or even still breathing.”

The single arrives via the Play It Again Sam label after the band’s debut LP , released last year. Brògeal have since toured and supported The Mary Wallopers and Paolo Nutini, and played festivals including TRSNMT, Neighbourhood, and Other Voices.
