Background and release


After releasing their 2nd EP, Holler, in 2014, Girls' Generation-TTS aimed to put out their next release a Christmas special album. They wanted to have a more comfortable and warm concept compared to their previous releases. Members Taeyeon and Tiffany proceeded to start on the album preparation in February 2015. Later on, member Seohyun participated in writing the Korean lyrics for the album's title song, "Dear Santa". In an interview, member Tiffany has said that the group wanted to put together an album that would "accentuate" their vocals. The album was released on December 4, 2015, with six tracks. The title song, "Dear Santa" was released in both English and Korean languages. As an effort to support music education for children in Asia, the group contributed a part of the album's sales profits to a charity called "SMile for U", a campaign held between SM Entertainment and UNICEF.

The title track "Dear Santa" was described to have mixed genres, including ballad and R&B melodies as well as a combination of upbeat and swing jazz sounds.
