"Mistletoe" is an original Christmas song written and performed by Colbie Caillat. It was co-written by Caillat's friend and former manager, Stacy Blue, and producer Mikal Blue. "Mistletoe" was released as a standalone single on November 20, 2007. A re-recorded version of the song was included on Caillat's 2012 holiday album, Christmas in the Sand.
"Mistletoe" was composed in the key of C Major and set to a "moderately slow" tempo of 60 BPM. [1] Caillat's vocals range from G3 through C5. The song discusses the experience of spending Christmas time without family or loved ones and represents a "slower paced romantic song" in contrast to the other, generally uptempo, original tracks on Christmas in the Sand. [2] [3]
The original 2007 version of the song was produced by Mikal Blue and released as a digital download single on November 20, 2007. [4] This recording was also included on the 2008 compilation album, The Essential Now That's What I Call Christmas. [5] In 2012, Caillat recorded a new version produced by her father, Ken Caillat, for her holiday album, Christmas in the Sand. [6]
The song was featured in the 2008 films Baby Mama, [7] and Will You Merry Me?.
"Mistletoe" debuted at number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated December 8, 2007. [8] The song reached a peak position of 75 the following week. [9] "Mistletoe" also peaked at number 7 on the Adult Contemporary chart, marking Caillat's second straight top-10 single on that survey. [10]
In Canada, "Mistletoe" performed slightly better with a debut of 74 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart dated December 8, 2007 and an eventual peak of 56 in January 2008. [11] [12] The song also reached the top 3 of the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. [13]
