After days of teasing, Michael Buble has finally released his new Christmas song, “Maybe This Christmas.”

It’s a duet with a country star Carly Pearcewhom he met while photographing The voice — Carly will serve as a Playoff mentor for Michael’s team this season. The song is about struggling with being alone during the holidays.

“I just wish on a star / And I wish I knew just what to do,” he sings. “Lord, I think I need your light/ On this cold and silent night/ I just keep holding on – it’s all I can do/ …it’s Christmas, I can’t be alone anymore.”

Carly picks up the second verse and offers a helping hand: “Though it’s sad to be alone/ I wish you joy, peace and hope/ Wish you all the love your heart can hold.”

The two end by singing together, “Maybe this Christmas / Don’t have to be alone again.”

Michael posted on Instagram a video of his wife, Luisanabursting into tears while listening to the song. He wrote: “I poured my heart into this song and it’s always a vulnerable place to share new music. Seeing Lu so emotional erased all my doubts. I wrote this song for those who find the holidays difficult… a lonely time. Music has a way of healing and it means a lot.”
