Speaking about the single, ugly ozo said,
“Under a dim light on a frosty winter evening, the studio felt like Christmas.
“I started playing Santa Baby, and a few hours and a couple of wines later, our cover was born.
“It’s my all time favourite Christmas song, and my producer Macks and I gave it a signature ugly ozo twist, recording the intro on a single mic above a drum kit before diving into a rock and roll guitar solo.
“It’s ugly ozo meets Eartha Kitt”
