(Club Pop Edit)
Intro (spoken / hype)
Yeah
Snow outside…
Turn the lights low
Verse 1
Red cups on the counter, lights low glow
Snow on the ground but the room stay hot though
DJ start Mariah then he flips that bass
Holiday drip, yeah we dressed to slay
December nights hit different now
Cold air bite but we still turn up loud
Phone on silent, worries on pause
We don’t need mistletoe to break laws
Pre-Chorus
Tree lit up like a neon sign
Midnight hits, yeah we losin’ time
Naughty list? Yeah, we crossed that line
Tonight don’t care if we wrong or right
Chorus (CLUB HOOK)
Santa after dark, yeah we up all night
Bass go heavy, snow glowin’ in the lights
Jingle all night ‘til the sunrise start
We ain’t goin’ home—Santa after dark
Hands up high, let the cold world melt
Bad ideas but it feelin’ good, felt
No rules now, just sparks in the dark
Turn it way up—Santa after dark
Verse 2
Ugly sweaters lookin’ kinda clean
Shot so cold make my heart skip beats
Rooftop views, city dressed in white
Every kiss taste like cinnamon spice
Reindeer games in designer shoes
Silent night? Nah, we makin’ moves
Wishlist short, just one thing more
You, me, dance floor—what you waitin’ for?
Pre-Chorus
Lights flash red, green, blue
DJ say “one more,” we say “two”
Naughty or nice, don’t ask tonight
We came to dance under Christmas lights
Chorus (DROP)
Santa after dark, yeah we up all night
Bass go heavy, snow glowin’ in the lights
Jingle all night ‘til the sunrise start
We ain’t goin’ home—Santa after dark
Hands up high, let the cold world melt
Bad ideas but it feelin’ good, felt
No rules now, just sparks in the dark
Turn it way up—Santa after dark
Bridge (breakdown → build)
Snow on the windshield, fog on the glass
Clock hit midnight, make it last
If tomorrow comes, we deal with that
Right now this beat got us off the map
Final Chorus (BIG FINAL)
Santa after dark, yeah we lose control
Heartbeat crash to the kick and roll
Lights so bright, city feelin’ alive
December heat in a winter sky
Hands up high, let the cold world melt
Bad ideas never felt this good, felt
No rules now, just sparks in the dark
Turn it way up—Santa after dark
Outro
Yeah
Santa after dark
