In a special holiday treat for music lovers, the celebrated K-pop group ENHYPEN has delivered a fresh interpretation of Justin Bieber's beloved Christmas track 'Mistletoe'. This exclusive release forms part of the music platform's highly anticipated '2025 Carols Covered' initiative, bringing seasonal cheer to audiences worldwide.
A Heartfelt Musical Gift for ENGENE
The seven-member boy band specifically selected this 2011 Christmas hit as a touching tribute to their devoted fan community, known as ENGENE. Through an exclusive message on Apple Music, the ensemble revealed their emotional connection to the song's lyrics.
The members expressed that the sweet and thrilling words of 'Mistletoe' perfectly captured how their fans perceive them, transforming this holiday cover into a deeply personal communication with their supporters. This thoughtful selection promises to create warm, intimate year-end moments for listeners across the globe.
Transforming a Christmas Classic
Justin Bieber's original version of 'Mistletoe' achieved remarkable success upon its initial release, securing the number 11 position on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and accumulating over 500 million views for its accompanying music video. While the Canadian pop star's rendition radiated cheerful, festive energy, ENHYPEN has reimagined the composition with a more tender, romantic atmosphere.
Group member Jake, who has long admired Bieber's work, shared that the song evokes cherished childhood memories and never fails to brighten his mood. This personal nostalgia adds another meaningful dimension to their collective performance.
