Background and release

On December 6, 2011, it was announced that the 2011 SM Town Winter 'The Warmest Gift' will be released on December 13 as the first SM Town winter record by SM Entertainment in four years since 2007.[3] It was also scheduled for release in Japan on December 14. The album features 11 songs with seven new tracks and four carol remakes.[4][5] In particular, all the songs in the album were recorded in English language to express gratitude to fans worldwide for sending love.[6] All SM artists, including Kangta, BoA, TVXQ, TRAX, The Grace – Dana & Sunday, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, Shinee, f(x), Zhang Liyin, and J-Min, participated in the winter album.[7]

Composition

"Santa U Are the One", sung by Super Junior, was described as a song that gives a "bright" atmosphere with "cute" lyrics telling that "Santa is the best, bringing joy and gifts to the world" along with "cheerful" rhythms and melodies.[8] "Sleigh Ride", sung by TVXQ, was described as a song that expresses the "cheerful" swing rhythm with the "perfect" sound that adds the grandeur of the orchestra and the "powerful" charm of the big band, expressing the cheerfulness as if riding a sled and the excitement of Christmas.[9] "Distance", sung by BoA, was described as an R&B ballad song, with simple rhythms, dreamy piano melody, and the singer's mournful and graceful voice.[10] "Last Christmas", sung by Shinee, was described as an electronic dance song that contains the three-dimensional charm of "dreamy and powerful" synth-pop that was remade to the group's "distinct" color.[11] "Diamond", sung by Girls' Generation, was described as a song with a familiar yet "sophisticated" style and is a classic pop song that expresses the warm and happy feeling of winter with the group's "unique" charm.[12] "For The First Time", sung by Kangta, was described as an acoustic ballad song that recalls the days spent with the woman he loves and the emotion of love he received from her.[13] "Like A Dream", sung by TRAX, is a newly recorded English version of the song from the group's third extended play (EP), Blind, to match the winter mood. "The First Noel", sung by Zhang Liyin, was a remake of the famous song loved worldwide.[14] "1,2,3", sung by f(x), was described as a "cute and lovely" song suitable for a winter track with Peppertones-produced "unique, bright, and healthy" music color. "Amazing", sung by The Grace – Dana & Sunday, was described as a pop ballad song containing everyday life's preciousness. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", sung J-Min, was a remake from the original track of John Lennon and Yoko Ono with the singer's "refreshing and appealing" vocals.[15]
