Olivia Rodrigo will release her first holiday single, 'take me home (4 christmas), this Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. The announcement coincides with the launch of a new music video featuring Cynthia Nixon and Saturday Night Live cast member Ben Marshall. Rodrigo shared the news on Instagram, writing, 'my first Christmas song ‘take me home (4 christmas)’ is out this Thursday at 5 pm pt/ 8 pm ET!! you can preorder it now. im so excited!!'
Fans can buy the song in physical formats immediately. An exclusive 7-inch vinyl and cassette are available for preorder on Rodrigo's official website. Target will also carry the vinyl, with copies hitting store shelves on Friday. This physical availability follows the recent digital success of her music catalog.
Rodrigo wrote the new track with collaborators Dan Nigro and Amy Allen. Nigro also produced the song. This release follows the remix of 'expectations,' which features Chappell Roan. That track originally appeared on Rodrigo's third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. The remix became the highest peaking all-female collaboration on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. It also pushed the album back to number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
Rodrigo is currently performing on her The Unraveled Tour. The tour has sold over 1 million tickets worldwide. A press release states the tour has broken several venue records. The holiday single releases while she remains on the road for these performances.
