“Love is the Answer” opens with a purely a cappella performance, adding a special, distinctive twist. When the explosive chorus arrives, the a capella subsides; sounds of jingle bells and soft-hitting drums come to play. HIT’s distinctive Broadway-esque vocals make it feel more like a contemporary Christmas track, while the song’s blend of pop and rock adds hints of dramatic, almost cinematic production. The track elicits excitement and anticipation, making listeners including myself feel eager for the Christmas season. Lyrics such as “Love is the answer / and I can’t put out this light / Cus baby, Love is the answer / I may be crazy, but it feels so good” capture the intoxicating feeling of falling for someone, all while adding the sweet, pure sentiments of Christmas.
“Love is the Answer” was inspired by Christmas in New York, specifically a love-at-first-sight moment on the street. It emphasizes that, at the core of all doubts, anxieties, and fears, lies love. This message of love’s power during the holiday season will hopefully instill a sense of connection with the listener, making it a meaningful addition to your Christmas playlists and celebrations.
