“Set against an evocative piano backdrop that evokes the chime of Christmas bells,”Maybe this Christmas” mixes Bublé’s mastery of traditional pop songcraft with Pearce’s wistful country sound. It’s an effortless genre mash-up that feels completely natural and – perhaps most importantly – it’s just sounds like Christmas.”

While unveiling the song, Michael and Carly shared a post via Instagram saying how “fate” played a hand and things worked out. The post mentions:

“Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them. This collab fell into place so seamlessly it feels like fate had a hand in it. We are so proud of this song! We hope you love it as much as we do.”

As for The voice Season 26’s final episode, Michael and Carly performed their Mabe This Christmas and shared the Christmas spirit across the stage. He also shared a separate Instagram post alongside the poster with Carly and mentioned their appearance during part 1 of The voice Season 26.

Michael and Carly’s Maybe this Christmas – Song explored

NBC shared interesting details about the latest song by Michael Bublé and Carly Pearce. According to NBC, the song is divided into two verses, each sung one after the other before merging into a chorus.

The song talks about the idea of:

“Spending Christmastime alone first with reluctance, then with empathy and finally with just a hint of holiday optimism as the emotional ballad concludes on a musical theme lifted from the Christmas classic Silent Night,” shared by NBC.

The opening verse of the song starts with Michael singing, “Sentimental ain’t a thing I do well” it’s Christmas time again / And I’m missin’ all my friends / a million miles away…”, which later turns into a fused chorus between the two. Then the lyrics mention how during the “Christmas season” you “shouldn’t be alone.”

NBC will release The voice Season 26 Finale Part 2 on December 10, 2024. Viewers can see the end of the epic competition, with one winner taking home the prize pool and the title.
