Jimmy Fallon and Meghan Trainor proved you can still make an instant classic modern Christmas song with “Wrap Me Up,” and fans were here for it! The pair had an absolute ball on the debut of the track on The Tonight Show, and watching their cheeky chemistry together might just put a smile on your dial. The pair delivered some romantic and playful vibes on the bop, while Trainor’s smooth R&B vocals served the hooks just right.
The Music Man has to say “Wrap Me Up” is a great vehicle for Fallon to show off his talents, as he not only delivers some legit vocal hooks, but also shows off his rap skills in the second verse. Fans were not only impressed by the catchy hooks, but also that the tune brought something new to the Christmas format, which is pretty rare these days. Move over Bublé and Mariah, as after this bop dropped, there’s a new King and Queen of Christmas in town!
After “Wrap Me Up” debuted on The Tonight Show, viewers gave some major props, adding comments such as “I love this song! Jimmy and Meghan’s voices blend so well! Such a catchy song. It is one of my new Christmas favorites!” and “It is rare that a Christmas song released since 2000 is actually good. Too often they are tired remakes of songs that were already perfect. But this is different. I love this song, and I love what Jimmy Fallon is doing on Holiday Seasoning.”
Trainor is no stranger to delivering Christmas favorites, as she also teamed up with a cappella vocal group Pentatonix for the song “Kid On Christmas.” This collab has epic vocal lines dropping all over the place, with the Pentatonix vocal five-piece delivering a lush vocal arrangement as Trainor works her magic over the top. Although the song was issued with Pentatonix as the lead artist, fans couldn’t help but notice that Trainor really put her stamp on proceedings in a big way!
Fallon and Trainor released “Wrap Me Up” on November 17, 2023. Both of them contributed to writing the song, alongside songwriters Sean Douglas and Gian Stone, with Stone also handling production. “Wrap Me Up” was issued as the third single from Fallon’s third studio album, Holiday Seasoning. “Wrap Me Up” was Fallon’s most successful single upon its release, as the tune hit number two on both the US Adult Contemporary and Holiday Digital charts.
