Chlöe Bailey is extending her holiday season with a new release. The singer has announced A Chlöe Christmas, a Christmas EP arriving this Friday, November 13, teasing the project with a playful message that puts her own spin on the season: “I’M THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.”
The announcement follows the release of “MRS CLAUS DONT HAVE 2 KNOW” on November 6, a provocative R&B track that introduced Bailey’s latest holiday era. Written, produced and self-directed by the singer, the song trades traditional Christmas imagery for suggestive storytelling, imagining a secret encounter with Santa while his wife remains unaware. Bailey had previewed the concept with the caption “naughty AND nice this year,” making her intentions clear before the single arrived.

Christmas music is not entirely new territory for Chloe Bailey. In November 2023, she released Amazon Music Original versions of “Merry Christmas Baby” and “Winter Wonderland.” Her rendition of the former appeared over the opening credits of the Prime Video film Candy Cane Lane, while she performed both songs at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting. At the time, Bailey discussed studying the original recordings, particularly Otis Redding’s soulful interpretation, before adding her own harmonies and production touches.
The new EP follows another creative chapter for the singer. In June, Chloe Bailey joined forces with Timbaland for Resurrection, a collaborative mixtape released on June 19. Entirely produced by Timbaland, with additional contributions from the Mosley brothers and other collaborators, the project revisited the experimental R&B instincts that have informed much of her work since Chloe x Halle.
