Songfacts®:

  • "Back Home For Christmas" is Mimi Webb's first Christmas song. Released on November 10, 2023, the bouncy pop tune conveys Webb's heartfelt wish to reunite with her sweetheart for the festive season.
  • Phil Plested, Mike Needle and the songwriting and production team TMS wrote the song.

    Plested and TMS previously teamed up with Lewis Capaldi to pen his hit singles "Before You Go" and "Forget Me."

    Mike Needle is one of Tom Grennan's go-to songwriting partners. Their collaborations include "Little Bit Of Love," "All These Nights," and "You Are Not Alone."
  • This wasn't originally written as a Christmas single. "It was your typical pop song," Mimi Webb told Official Charts. "We thought 'let's go in and put these Christmas lyrics over it.' I just felt like it was the perfect song to bring the Christmas vibe to. It was so much fun to write and record. I just knew this would be my Christmas song."
  • Peter "Lostboy" Rycroft, the man behind Tom Grennan's "Remind Me," and Kylie Minogue's "Padam Padam," produced the track.
