It’s that time of year again! You can’t step into a shop or pub without hearing Mariah Carey belting out All I Want for Christmas Is You on repeat or Slade’s Noddy Holder screaming “It’s Christmas!” like an overexcited toddler.
With the festive season in full swing, I thought, why not try writing my own Christmas song? And with the help of AI, I decided to give it a go.
Here’s the initial prompt I used (slightly annoyed by the spelling mistake, but thankfully ChatGPT isn’t a grammar nazi):
And then ChatGPT came back with this improved version:
Here are the lyrics ChatGPT created.
(Verse 1)
The tree’s a little smaller this year,
The lights are secondhand,
We’re counting every penny,
Doing the best we can.
But the snow is falling softly,
And the fire’s burning bright,
What matters most is family
On this cold December night.
(Chorus)
Oh, the world keeps turning, prices rising high,
But Christmas brings a warmth no money can buy.
We’ll hold each other close, let the love unfold,
‘Cause this Christmas is worth more than gold.
(Verse 2)
We’ve swapped out big gifts for handmade things,
Cards filled with love and cheer.
The laughter round the table
Makes the struggle disappear.
Though the bills stack up like snowdrifts,
And the paychecks feel so small,
The hugs and smiles at Christmas
Are the greatest gifts of all.
(Chorus)
Oh, the world keeps turning, prices rising high,
But Christmas brings a warmth no money can buy.
We’ll hold each other close, let the love unfold,
‘Cause this Christmas is worth more than gold.
(Bridge)
So let’s raise a glass to brighter days,
To the love that gets us through.
The stars are shining brighter
When I’m here with all of you.
We’ll sing the songs, we’ll share the light,
And make these moments last,
For Christmas fills our hearts with hope
That struggles cannot surpass.
(Chorus)
Oh, the world keeps turning, prices rising high,
But Christmas brings a warmth no money can buy.
We’ll hold each other close, let the love unfold,
‘Cause this Christmas is worth more than gold.
(Outro)
So here’s to every heart that’s brave,
To the stories yet untold.
Through the cost and chaos, love will save,
And this Christmas is worth more than gold.
To bring it all to life, I used the magic of Suno.com to create the complete song. Using the lyrics written by ChatGPT, I asked Suno to compose a Christmas track with a vibrant female vocal.
The result? A holiday pop banger that’s ready to jingle its way into your playlist!
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you:
Love Lights the Season
Merry Christmas
