About Wrapped In Red

"Wrapped in Red" is a song by American singer Kelly Clarkson. It is the titular song and the opening track from her sixth studio album, Wrapped in Red (2013). Written by Clarkson, Ashley Arrison, Aben Eubanks, and Shane McAnally, the song is produced by Greg Kurstin, who recorded the track using the Wall of Sound production technique developed by Phil Spector. A soul-pop ballad, "Wrapped in Red" is a Christmas song about unrequited love in the holidays, in which the color red is used as metaphorical device to express someone's truthful feelings, apart from being a quintessential holiday color. "Wrapped in Red" was serviced by RCA Records to Adult Contemporary radio stations as the second single from the album on November 25, 2014. Lauded for its homage to production sound and vocal performance, "Wrapped in Red" was met with a positive reception from music critics, who regarded it a candidate to be a future holiday classic along with "Underneath the Tree". Boosted by digital sales and radio support following the album's release, the song charted in two Billboard music charts as an album cut.

Everybody's happy
Snow is falling down
Prayers are being nicer
Miracles all around

From afar I've loved you
But never let it show
And every year another
December comes and goes
Always watching
Never reaching
But this Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall

So magical and nothing more
Than words I never said
You know it's love, you see me like
You never seen me yeah
Wrapped in red (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Blue is where I've been
Green can't run to you
Silver does remind me
That mistletoe's for two

So I found a color
That only tells the truth
That paints a picture
Of how I feel for you

This Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall

So magical and nothing more
Than words I never said
You know it's love, you see me like
You never seen me yeah
Wrapped in red (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

I'll never feel you
If I don't tell you

This Christmas
I'm gonna risk it all
This Christmas
I'm not afraid to fall

So magical and nothing more
Than words I never said
You know it's love, you see me like
You never seen me yeah
Wrapped in red (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Wrapped in red (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
