Listen on Apple Music or Spotify.

What it sounds like

A midtempo 95 BPM track built on bass, drums, piano, percussion and synth, with a playful, swaggering vocal and a “ho ho ho” chant. The feel: bright, catchy, confident, cool – a band of demons cheering along.

What it’s about

Christmas Eve with a guilty conscience. The tree is up, the stockings are filled, and someone is knocking. There are hooves on the rooftop and red in the snow, and after a year of being both naughty and nice, the singer doesn’t know who’s coming down the chimney tonight, is it Santa? Or is it Krampus…

Naughty & Nice lyrics

Oh i put up the tree
Oh i hung up the wreath
Oh i filled up the stockings
Oh I hear someone knocking

I’ve been a sinner
But I feel the spirit

I feel the foot steps
tell me can you hear it

Ho ho ho
Hope it’s santa
Ho ho ho
hope it’s santa

Cuz I can’t tell if
Krampus gonna
Drag me down to hell

Ho ho ho
Hope it’s santa
Ho ho ho
I hope it’s santa

Cuz some fates
Are worse than coal

I’ve been Naughty
And I’ve been Nice
So I Don’t know who’s coming down the chimney tonight
I’ve been Naughty
And I’ve been Nice
So I Don’t know who’s coming down the chimney tonight

Oh I hooves on the rooftop
Oh I, I hope that it’s Rudolph
Oh I, there’s red in the snow
Oh I, Got that candy cane glow

Horned silhouettes
Heart beats out my chest

Oh I, I feel a fear
Cuz judgment is near
