Kodaline is back to get us ready for the festive season with their very first Christmas single, ‘This Must Be Christmas’. The track showcases Kodaline’s bright and uplifting aesthetic, combined with a distinctly festive feel.

Speaking about the new single, the band said, “We’ve always wanted to write a Christmas song but we never actually got around to doing it until now. We’re excited to share  ‘This Must Be Christmas’ with you. I suppose the song was influenced by The Pogues ‘Fairytale Of New Yor’k, it’s kind of an anti Christmas song about drowning your sorrows in the pub on Christmas. Anyway we hope you enjoy it.”

Following the success of their recently released studio album ‘One Day At A Time’, which has now been streamed more than 74 million times, Kodaline has now released the deluxe edition of the album. The deluxe edition, which was released on the same day as ‘This Must Be Christmas’, features a collaboration with Gabrielle Aplin on their track ‘Everyone Changes’ , and of course the previously released singles ‘Wherever You Are’, ‘Sometimes’, ‘Saving Grace’ and ‘Say Something’.
