Olivia Rodrigo's first Christmas song is here, with a starry video

Early Christmas for Olivia Rodrigo fans: the pop star has released her first-ever holiday song, "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)", along with a festive music video. It dropped on Thursday, Nov. 5.

What happened?

The video puts Rodrigo in the middle of a family wearing wildly loud Christmas sweaters. A preview of the clip came out a few days before the song.

Cynthia Nixon and Ben Marshall, who appears on SNL (America's long-running sketch show), join in. They play a version of the party game "Head's Up". Everyone has a name taped to their forehead and tries to guess it. The name is the same for all of them: "Olivia Rodrigo".

The song was produced by Dan Nigro.

What came before?

Rodrigo announced the song and its release date on Nov. 2, and teased the video with Nixon and Marshall at the same time.

It follows a big year. Her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, came out in June and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (the US album chart). A recent remix of "Expectations" with Chappell Roan then pushed that track to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the main US singles chart).

Where can you hear it live?

Rodrigo's new song is not the only holiday release this week. It arrived a few hours before Alanis Morissette's album Good Weather for Immaculate Conception and Sufjan Stevens' compilation Worst Christmas Ever.

Rodrigo is also on her Unraveled Tour, with dates across the United States and Canada through Dec. 20. The shows get closer to Dec. 25 as the tour goes on, so some fans may hear the song live. After a short break, the tour resumes in January.
