Olivia Rodrigo has officially kicked off the festive season, releasing her first ever holiday single, ‘take me home (4 christmas)’.
The original track arrived on 5 November via Interscope Records. Olivia wrote the song alongside long-time collaborators Dan Nigro and Amy Allen, with Nigro also taking on production duties.
Alongside the single comes an official music video starring Olivia with Sex and the City icon Cynthia Nixon and Saturday Night Live‘s Ben Marshall.
The video captures the excitement, and the inevitable awkwardness, of going home for the holidays and meeting your partner’s family for the first time. It is a scenario plenty of fans will no doubt recognise as Christmas approaches.
Capping off a record-breaking year
The festive release follows hot on the heels of Olivia’s ‘expectations’ remix featuring Chappell Roan, which dropped in October. The remix quickly became the highest-peaking all-female collaboration on the Billboard Hot 100 this year, with Chappell putting her own spin on the original track.
The collaboration also sent Olivia’s critically acclaimed third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The record originally debuted at the top of the chart with 485,000 first-week units, making it 2026’s biggest solo debut, and went on to top the charts in 17 countries.
Olivia is currently on her sold-out The Unraveled Tour, which has sold more than one million tickets worldwide. The tour has added extra dates due to demand and broken several venue records along the way.
Over the summer, she also made history by launching her first women-led music festival, Daisy Chain Fields. Held at Great Park in Irvine, California on 29 August, the festival raised $20 million for 10 non-profit organisations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls through the Daisy Chain Fields Fund.
‘take me home (4 christmas)’ is available to download / stream now. For collectors, an exclusive 7-inch vinyl and cassette of the single can be purchases online at oliviarodrigo.com, along with a full holiday collection of limited-edition gifts, collectibles, decorations and accessories.
