Song Lyrics
‘Mistletoe’ captures a holiday romance. It’s a playful ode to moments shared under Christmas lights. The cold months of winter, popularly tagged “cuffing season” become the perfect backdrop to begin a love affair. Anacy invites the listener to step in and experience it along with her – “Now all I want to be is yours forever and ever.”
There’s a genuine vulnerability in the song, mixed in with a peppy, all-I-want-for-Christmas-is-you energy. Anacy sings about wanting connection with someone special, and the mistletoe becomes both the perfect excuse and setting for it. The chorus goes – “Take me under the mistletoe… don’t be afraid to let your feelings unfold”

The Atmosphere
‘Mistletoe’ is decorated with bright synths and upbeat drumming that evoke a snowy night in a cozy living room. The track opens with the infectious beat, mixed in with the sound of distant bells, quickly establishing the warm atmosphere. As the song progresses, the instrumentation builds, and the guitar riff and the beats carry the song. Then it comes to a smooth end with Anacy’s evocative singing as she sings about how neither silver or gold are on her wishlist; she just wants the object of her affection to meet her under the mistletoe.
The production is smooth, with every instrument carefully used to create a sense of intimacy. The contrast between the energetic chorus and the quiet verses highlight her longing. The delicate bells in the background and the gorgeous synth really elevate the song.
‘Mistletoe’ is an enchanting festive track that balances playfulness and desire with longing, and it’s a testament to Anacy’s growing talent as an artist.
