"Another Year" is a Christmas song by American singer-songwriter . It was released by OYOY on December 1, 2020. The song is a piano ballad that "paints a picture of family and friends gathered together to spread some joy". It is his first Christmas song. Background and promotion Finneas announced the song on Twitter on November 25, 2020 with a caption reading "Christmas song on Tuesday." Finneas originally wrote "Another Year" in December 2019. He explained in a statement about the creation of the song: "I wrote this song last Christmas, with a year of uncertainty ahead of us, had I known, anything I know now about how 2020 would go, I don’t think I would have changed a word. I hope wherever this song finds you, it brings you some small dose of comfort. The horizon is bright I think." On December 8, 2020 Finneas performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The performance was described by Lars Brandle of Billboard as "oozing with class." Critical reception Rhian Daly of NME rated the song four baubles out of five, highlighting the lyric "I don't believe Jesus Christ was born to save me / That's an awful lot of pressure for a baby".
