“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need / I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree / I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know / Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you,” she sings.
The 1994 song has since become a Christmas staple.
“When I wrote ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ it was my dream for it to become a classic Christmas song. I am so proud of the song’s impact as it continues to create memories for fans each year,” she said in her 2015 children’s book of the same name.
“I just sat down, decorated a little tree and put on It’s A Wonderful Life and tried to get into that mood. Then I sat in this small room with a keyboard and started doing little melodies and stuff. I was going over all the things I think about at Christmas time that make me happy and how to turn it around and make it into a love song,” she told Cosmopolitan of making the song.
25 years after its release, the song finally hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019.
“I don’t acknowledge time. The more I hear [that it’s turning 25], the more I freak out. I’d rather just say it feels like it’s going to be a great anniversary for the album. We’ll call it a birthday. It’s not that it scares me, it’s just if you don’t acknowledge time, you don’t have to deal with it,” she said at the time to Cosmopolitan.
