It also sees him continue his long working relationship with Sam Preston from The Ordinary Boys.<\/p>\n \u201cAll week been singing \u2018Santa Baby\u2019 \/ Counting days until I get you back in my arms\/ tree\u2019s up, stockings on the chimney\/ its on its way and I just can\u2019t wait<\/em>,\u201d Murs sings over the upbeat, anthemic instrumentals, building up towards the chorus. \u201cI\u2019ve been broken and I\u2019ve been working like a dog\/ hear the choir sing, the lights are twinkling under the mistletoe and it\u2019s you I\u2019m missing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Christmas Starts Tonight\u2019 has had the maddest journey\u2026 It began as a demo of \u2018Run This Town\u2019 that never quite found its moment,\u201d Murs shared in a new statement.<\/p>\n \u201cFast forward to 2025 and it ends up on my new album, I perform it on Strictly<\/em>, and suddenly I\u2019m hearing it as a Christmas song. So I sent Sam a message and somehow we\u2019ve turned it into a full-on festive anthem and properly reconnected in the process.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels fresh, it feels fun, and honestly\u2026 I couldn\u2019t be more excited to now have a fully fledged Christmas tune out with The Ordinary Boys.\u201d<\/p>\n
