did Ariana Grande decide to be the sole writer of Santa Tell Me in order to collect those yearly royalty checks Mariah gets from All I Want For X-Mas?

I think thats so smart of her.

she is basicly securing herself an eternity of money because this song will be a hit and could be our generations new x-mas classic/staple.

LOL.

It will not be a christmas staple - may be a hit this year but that's it. How many girls have recorded christmas songs, that aren't selling at all anymore? Mariah is a legend and will always be, hence people still checking for her christmas single. People will stop checking for Ariana's christmas single as soon as Ariana stops being hot. That's all.

legend, get money!

I didn't even knew she knew how to write melodies. I thought she just knew how to write the lyrics itself.

yes she is actually go check the writing credits! its pretty cool, i'm proud of her

I know what you mean but I feel like the song maybe wont resurface for the first like 9-10 years after its released but that it will start re charting when she is in her like 9th or 10th year of her career still smashing and she performs it on her own holiday special on tv because by then she will be an Icon

Not gonna happen, sorry.

Do you mean lyrics? If you can write an entire song by yourself, that means you can compose the music (melody included) and come up with the lyrics.

Frankly it is a bit fishy considering Ariana's songs usually have a whole team of writers, but I must admit that I'm not too familiar with her "talents" outside of acting and singing. Perhaps she can actually write music.

If so, Queen

I'm actually pretty impressed if it is true she wrote this completely by herself, because the melody is sweet, light, and airy - flows like silk. And the lyrics are just the right amount of holiday clichés and simplicity. Still, no matter how much I like her, I doubt she wrote this by herself. I'm pretty sure the information on the song (songwriters, producer, etc) just hasn't come out yet.

Who really knows tbh. Maybe it will be a Xmas classic in the future because its really good. And I really didnt know Ariri wrote this entire song by herself impressive!

So she didn't even write this "classic staple" by herlsef? I guess the thread can be closed now

Yes, actually I changed because I made a mistake. I thought she only knew how to write the lyrics itself and not melodies too.

illegal copy? sister sister! dont be that girl..go look in the mirror and be a better man ..start today and order My Everything and get a copy of Santa Tell Me the legal way

How does a song become a staple? All I want is 20 years old and it still has to be the most recent Christmas staple. I thought snow in california was great

Yes, this is her All I Want for Christmas Is You.

whats wrong with you?quoting me sarcastically and being so viscous. did ariana drag you on twitter or something?

anyways he just said it was on an illegal copy so God knows whats true. so far the only official info says she is the sole writer of the song

you shouldn't be so viscous towards Ariana.. she is basically giving one of our common favs another possible hit on her nearly hitless album The Pinkprint...its good to show some gratitude in that attitude.
