Christmas came early, courtesy of Ariana Grande!

Days before Thanksgiving, the 21-year-old pop star released her new original holiday single, "Santa Tell Me." The song premiered via Vevo at midnight Monday and is being sold for $1.29 in the iTunes store.

"Santa, tell me if you're really there / Don't make me fall in love again/ If he won't be here next year/ Santa tell me if he really cares / 'Cause I can give it all away if he won't be here next year," Grande sings.

With jingle bells backing her silky smooth vocals, the American Music Award winner transitions to the first verse: "Feeling Christmas all around / And I'm trying to play it cool / But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room / 'Let It Snow' is blasting now / But I won't get it in the mood / I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know it's true love / That he thinks of / So, next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy."

Cue the chorus and second verse—not to mention the soulful bridge!

Of course, this isn't the first time Grande has released holiday music. Last year, the "Bang Bang" singer covered Wham!'s 1984 hit "Last Christmas." The song was featured on Grande's Christmas Kisses EP, which included three additional tracks: "Love Is Everything," "Snow in California" and "Santa Baby."
