Leona Lewis’ new single, Kiss Me It’s Christmas, was inspired by a Christmas breakup
The One More Sleep star released the track, featuring Ne-Yo, as the first single from her ‘Christmas, WIth Love Always’ repack.
Speaking on This Morning, Leona opened up on the song, admitting it “symbolises a very specific break-up that I went through around Christmas time years ago”.
“Christmas means a lot to different people – some people are so happy and joyful. I always love reconnecting with my family at Christmas time, but for some people there’s break-ups, there’s people you’ve lost…
“I wanted to encapsulate all kinds of emotions that come with Christmas.”
The holiday tune is one of two new cuts on ‘Christmas, with Love Always’ – the reissue of her 2013 festive set – and has been released as a single across digital platforms.
“I’m so happy to share an early Christmas present with you all,” tweeted Leona. “A repackaged release of my 2013 studio album,‘Christmas, With Love Always’ will be out digitally and on vinyl on November 19th.
“This album is so special to me and features two new songs!”
Also included on the new version of the record is If I Can’t Have You, while the vinyl edition includes another version of Kiss Me It’s Christmaswith British artist Iain James.
‘Christmas, with Love Always’ is available to pre-order on vinyl.
