Christmas 2015 is just 36 days away, and that means that it's right about time for some holiday music. And, no worries, Carly Rae Jepsen has got you covered. This week, the "I Really Like You" singer announced that she will be releasing her own Christmas song, a cover of the WHAM! classic "Last Christmas."
Jepsen first teased the release of her own seasonal music on Twitter on Wednesday (Nov. 18), saying that it's about time she release something new. But, her hint seemed to imply she wouldn't just be releasing another pop gem in line with her new album EMOTION. Oh, yes, there was a Christmas tree emoji.
Tis the season for new music.. Friday?

Just a few hours after she first teased the new music, Jepsen spilled the beans that she's rolling out her own version of "Last Christmas." Along with the song announcement, Jepsen unveiled the single's artwork, which features a bubblegum pink background and a Christmas tree shape made out of neon lights. So, expect that same '80s pop Jepsen touch to this cover.

Jepsen's version of "Last Christmas" will be released on Friday, Nov. 20. Though originally done by WHAM, "Last Christmas" has been covered by everyone from Ariana Grande to the Glee cast to Jimmy Eat World.
The new single will be the latest musical release from the "Call Me Maybe" singer in 2015. Earlier this year, she released her fabulous new LP Emotion, which featured new songs such as lead single "I Really Like You" as well as "Run Away With Me," "Your Type" and "Making the Most of the Night."
