The Christmas countdown has begun, the first chocolate in your advent calendar is up for grabs, and a surprise early present arrives today (Dec. 1) in the form of a holiday recording by Ally Brooke and Dinah Jane.
The Fifth Harmony bandmates gift wrap “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” following on the heels of Brooke’s recently-released four-track holiday EP Under The Tree, which includes the title track, an original song.
Ally and Dinah made the collaboration announcement by way of their socials earlier in the week.
“I’m beyond thrilled to be back together with my former Fifth Harmony mate Dinah,” Ally enthuses in a statement. “There are no words to explain how it feels to be reunited with our collaboration. We hope to bring lots of happiness to our fans and the world with our reunion.”
Christmas is, of course, a time for family. And this Xmas cut represents the first time any of the former 5H bandmates have collaborated since the pop group went on hiatus in 2018.
Formed on The X Factor in 2012 with the lineup of Brooke, Jane, Normani, Lauren Jauregui, and Camila Cabello, the group went on to land four top 10 titles on the Billboard 200 chart, and earned a top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Work From Home” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, peaking at No. 4 in 2016.
“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” comes years after Fifth Harmony disbanded, at the time reduced to a four-piece when Cabello left.
Jane presents the new song as a special gift to long-suffering Harmonizers.
“There’s a special type of joyous spirit that Christmas brings us all,” she comments. “This holiday season, I’m grateful for this healing union that has brought my good ole sister Ally Brooke and I together through music”.
“May this song encourage you to embrace love, forgiveness, and bring comfort to all,” concludes Dinah. “I pray that this song may connect souls to our dear Savior as His love is the reason for all seasons.”
“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” is now bundled into Brooke’s Under the Tree collection and can be streamed below.
