DJ Play a Christmas Song

"DJ Play A Christmas Song" is a yuletide dance track. Cher paints a picture of a festive party where everyone is letting loose and having a good time. She conjures up a night that's anything but silent.

Sarah Hudson, Jesse Saint John, Brett McLaughlin, James Abrahart, Mark Schick, and Lionel Crasta wrote the song. American songwriter Sarah Hudson's resumé includes Katy Perry's "Dark Horse," Iggy Azalea's "Black Widow" and Dua Lipa's "Levitating." US Singer-songwriter Jesse Saint John has contributed to songs by Lizzo ("Truth Hurts") and Andy Grammer ("Freeze"). American songwriter Brett "Leland" McLaughlin's credits includes Daya's "Hide Away," Troye Sivan's "Youth" and Kelsea Ballerini's "Miss Me More." British songwriter/producer James "JHart" Abrahart has collaborated with the likes of Martin Garrix ("Don't Look Down," OneRepublic ("Didn't I") and Maneskin ("The Loneliest").

Cher recorded "DJ Play A Christmas Song" for her first holiday album, Christmas. It was back in 2018 that Cher first decided she's got yule, babe, and would release a festive record. No progress was made for several years, in part because of the pandemic. Finally the pop icon previewed the upcoming album over the 2023 summer on her Twitter account before releasing it on October 20, 2023.
