Writing the music was a truly global process:

The German songwriters Simon Heeger &/ Christian Vorländer shared their ideas with the dutch arranger Thomas Muis. After finding the perfect lyrics, they shared the layout with 7-year-old Emma who’s based in Los Angeles. She recorded the vocals remotely with her dad and sent it back to 2WEI in Germany to finish the production.

Both in recording and mixing the song the idea was to keep imperfections in order to underpin the vulnerability of the film’s main character – as if it was little Santa himself commenting from the off.
