When Liam Payne announced he would be releasing a holiday song and gave fans a sneak peak, his plan was to wait until the song came out to share that it was Tik Tok star Dixie D’Amelio singing on the track with him. His fans however, played detectives and figured it out first. The day before the song was released he posted on his Instagram account a photo of him and Dixie and explained how excited he was to collaborate with her. Dixie D’Amelio is a 19 year old Tik Tok sensation, and the oldest of the two D’Amelio sisters. The singer released her debut single, “Be Happy” earlier this year. Payne first announced their song in a Tik Tok video with a short clip of the song, encouraging fans to use the sound to create videos.
Their song, “Naughy List” is a fun love song describing a couple who get caught up in the holiday spirit. The song includes playful lyrics like, “Now we’re on the Naughty List / Must have been the way we kissed / Santa saw the things we did / And put us on the naughty list.” This isn’t the first christmas song Payne has done. Last October, the former One Direction singer released “All I Want (For Christmas)”, a ballad about a breakup.
