The song is the duo’s first new origimal music in 2025
Global superstars Dan + Shay are poised to light up the holiday season once again with the release of their new Christmas anthem “Long Live Christmas,” available now via Warner Music Nashville. The song fits warmly among the lauded duo’s Christmas canon, with the duo’s own Dan Smyers serving as the writer and co-producer of what is sure to be a future holiday classic.
The track is the first new original music from them since their 2024 holiday album, It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album, which featured 21 songs — ten well-known and widely loved standards and 11 original songs written or co-written by Dan + Shay, including three written solely by Dan Smyers himself.
It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album features RIAA gold-certified songs “Take Me Home For Christmas” and “Pick Out A Christmas Tree,” while the track “Officially Christmas” has garnered over 68 million global streams, and “Holiday Party” is tallying 39 million global streams. To date, songs from the project tout a plump 521 million cumulative global streams.
Dan + Shay’s ability to consistently blend heartfelt storytelling with pristine vocal production has cemented the duo not just as country music icons but as multi-genre titans who excel across any format.
