"Christmas EveL" (pronounced "Christmas evil") is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Stray Kids. It was released on November 29, 2021, as a title track and dual lead single alongside "Winter Falls" from their single album of the same name, through JYP Entertainment and distributed by Dreamus, which marketed as "holiday special single" as part of Season Song project. Written by 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) and HotSauce, the song expresses a different point of view about Christmas, rather than romance and warmth with a funky hip hop sound.

Background and release

On November 11, Stray Kids announce to release the single album Christmas EveL, scheduled for release on November 29, 2021.[1] The official track listing was posted on November 19, serving "Christmas EveL" as a lead single, alongside "Winter Falls".[2] Two music video teasers of "Christmas EveL" were released on November 20, and 27, respectively.[3][4] "Christmas EveL" was released simultaneously as the single album on November 29.[5][6] Stray Kids will not promote the song on any music program, as a thank-you gift to their fans.[7]

Composition and lyrics

"Christmas EveL" is a funky hip hop song written by the group's in-house production team 3Racha, consisting of Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, and co-composed with Hot Sauce in the key of F minor, 140 beats per minute with a running time of 2 minutes and 59 seconds.[8] Lyrically, "Christmas EveL" said about Christmas from a different point of view,[9] Bang Chan said the song "contains our naughty side and energy", while Changbin "wanted to express the reason why naughty boys looked at Christmas differently, rather than a romantic and warm Christmas".[4]

Music video

An accompanying music video of "Christmas EveL" was premiered alongside the single on November 29, 2021.[5] Directed by Lee Hye-sung and produced by Sushivisual,[10] the music video begins with Stray Kids was in a traffic jam and listening to radio news. The news was presented Santa Claus lost his voice due to the attack of the "sound monster", who appeared in Noeasy trailer and he will hire substitutes, who is Stray Kids to spread joy to children instead of him. They wrapped to a convenience store to find presents to deliver the children and make a mess. Later, Bang Chan pressed the button to warp everyone again left the store.

A pink gift box fell from the sky and transformed into a magical pink truck. They threw the gift boxes out of the truck to deliver the children while it was driving. Suddenly, the truck got into an accident and skidded off a cliff to a sink. They crawled out from under the sink and dropped presents under the Christmas tree in the house, but the girl opened the door and saw them by chance. They introduced themself as Stray Kids, but she yelled that "You're not Santa." Later, Stray Kids and the girl played together. It ends with Stray Kids leaving the store and receiving the text to work instead of Santa Claus again.[6][11]
