Lizzo has recorded a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Someday At Christmas” for Amazon Music. Issued as an original track, the song is featured exclusively on the music streaming platform.

“I chose to cover ‘Someday at Christmas’ not just because it’s a classic, but because it’s a reminder to us that almost 60 years later, we are still fighting for peace, compassion, and equality,” explained Lizzo in a press release. “A friendly reminder to spread love and kindness this holiday season.”
