“Take Me Home (4 Christmas)” by Olivia Rodrigo just dropped Thursday, but I have a feeling we will be hearing it all season long.

It’s a merry and bright new addition to my Christmas playlist. And sure what the heck, I’ll put it in my everyday one, too.

The song is reminiscent of “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses, with its upbeat, cutesy, pop-like beat. Rodrigo’s song is about going home with her boyfriend for the holidays, and the music video starring Cynthia Nixon (the redhead from “Sex and the City”) and Ben Marshall (the redhead from who you might know from “Saturday Night Live”) gives us a more complete story. Rodrigo is cleaning up what looks like her boyfriend Marshall’s apartment after a party, and she starts daydreaming about going home with him for the holidays.

She wears picturesque winter outfits, complete with red tights, plaid and tweed. She has perfect shiny hair (as always) and is thoughtful, merry and bright to the whole family, from letting his messy little sister do her makeup to impressing everyone with loads of presents under the tree.

The only discourse I saw online was some complaints of the song being too light hearted, since Rodrigo has given herself a reputation as quite the poetic lyricist, who tends to write some pretty gut-wrenching tracks. To that I say, there are enough sad Christmas songs, and let Rodrigo daydream for a moment.

Though it’s only early November, it just gives everyone the opportunity to stream the song all holiday season, and learn the lyrics before all the stockings are hung up on the mantle.

Overall, I recommend giving the song a listen. It’s no “Cigarette Smoke,” but I can’t wait to stream it while I Christmas shop for everyone but a boyfriend this winter.
