Background

On 23 October, Payne revealed a preview of "All I Want (For Christmas)" and that it would serve as his next single.[3] It was written by James Newman, Samuel Preston and Philip Cook, while production was handled by Cook.[4] The song has been described as a "gentle ballad".[5] The song finds Payne singing about a broken relationship and hopes to mend it before the holiday season.[1]

Critical reception

Regina Star of iHeartRadio gave a positive review for the song stating, "Payne's record is far more somber, as the musician croons of wanting to save his broken relationship with his beloved."[6] Hollywood Life noted how different the track is compared to other Christmas songs remarking, "Finally, a song that captures the darker side of the holidays that 'Jingle Bells' can't quite accomplish."[7]
