Dan + Shay are getting into the holiday spirit with their new song, “Take Me Home For Christmas.”

“This is our first original Christmas song, and we had a blast writing and recording it,” the duo’s Dan Smyers said. “It was cool to get in the holiday spirit a little early this year, because I think we could all use some extra positivity and cheer. Our fans have asked for Christmas music every year, so I hope you all have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.”

Dan + Shay will be joined by Justin Bieber for the world television premiere of their No. 1 global hit “10,000 Hours” during the CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Dan + Shay added four CMA nods this year to their career-total 10 nominations, with an additional two going to Dan Smyers as producer in the Single of the Year and Musical Event of the Year categories. Their current single, “I Should Probably Go To Bed,” has already accumulated more than 100 million global streams and is approaching Top 10 at country radio.

“10,000 Hours” had the biggest first-week streaming total in country music history and was the fastest country song to reach one million U.S. track equivalents in 2019, earning more than 3.6 million U.S. track equivalents to date, and more than 1.3 billion global streams. It was the first song by a country duo or group ever to debut in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 5 and spent 21 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs. The worldwide smash has achieved 2x multi-Platinum certification in Australia and Canada, Platinum certification in the Netherlands, and Gold certification in four other countries.
