Waiting till full version before I judge but based on clip she sounds vocally healthy! The layers and production sounds very lush and very RNB. I think imma end up liking this.

I like it. Something different for her Christmas canon. Doesn't really sound like any of her other Christmas songs in my opinion.. reminds me of "I Only Wanted".

Love the vibe, reminds me of Toni Braxton's Christmas album.

I loved the melancholic vibe as well. Khalid truly shines here and their voices complement each other very well. I got goosebumps somewhere in the middle. Khalid's parts and MC's high note are the best moments for me, so far.

The gospel outro is definitely the strongest part of all of this.
I wish she was signing more full voice in the song itself.
Either way, I'm glad to add this to her already impressive music collection.

The outro should be separate, but that's why we have the radio edit! Ideally it would be an interlude on an album.

This is magical 🤩 I want more of that bridge! I just wish the part where she comes in with her verse with the "E-E-e-end" was sung differently. It kinda ruins the flow of the song.

Oddly this reminds me of My All in parts. I am pleasantly surprised since my expectations were lowered as soon as I saw Khalid being a part of this. Bravo Mimi!

This is such a vibe ughh #onrepeat
Love it! This has gotten me excited to hear what else she's been writing as she's been inspired according to her!

Heavenly. Lush like cashmere and they all fit in together well. It's supposed to be gospel but I thought the start of the track and her vocals were sexy!
A nice addition

This new song reminds me the Unforgettable remix with French Montana. I like it but at the same time it feels like I need a full album to create a whole experience.

I am loving it. I was worried after some of the comments about her airy singing, but I have no problem understanding her. I also think those vocals work well with Khalid. I love that it's built more around an acoustic guitar, too. I like the gospel ending, too, though this is one of the few times I find her whistle notes to be truly random.

On Spotify's New Music Holiday playlist, this is at No. 1, which Kelly/Ariana at No. 2. Great list toppers!

I'm really liking this! It's definitely a vibe, but the production and melody keep things interesting. The soft vocals make sense here and are easier to understand than on many of Mariah's other songs, too.

Some reactions:
I love how he says Mariah writes melodies that sound easy but are so hard to replicate. Yes!
I love how they're all pointing out Khalid's parts are influenced by Mariah in the layering.
His love for it is so infectious.

Am I missing something, or is that not the same single available in the Mariah shop?
