"Another Year" is a Christmas song by American singer-songwriter Finneas. It was released by OYOY on December 1, 2020. The song is a piano ballad that "paints a picture of family and friends gathered together to spread some joy".[1] It is his first Christmas song.
Background and promotion[edit]
Finneas announced the song on Twitter on November 25, 2020 with a caption reading "Christmas song on Tuesday."[2] Finneas originally wrote "Another Year" in December 2019. He explained in a statement about the creation of the song: "I wrote this song last Christmas, with a year of uncertainty ahead of us, had I known, anything I know now about how 2020 would go, I don’t think I would have changed a word. I hope wherever this song finds you, it brings you some small dose of comfort. The horizon is bright I think."[3][4]
On December 8, 2020 Finneas performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The performance was described by Lars Brandle of Billboard as "oozing with class."[5]
Critical reception[edit]
Rhian Daly of NME rated the song four baubles out of five, highlighting the lyric "I don't believe Jesus Christ was born to save me / That's an awful lot of pressure for a baby".[6]
