Contents 1 Content 2 Reception 3 Chart performance 4 Other versions 5 References Content `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' is a mid-tempo in triple meter, featuring lead vocals from Lisa Burgess Stewart, who now records under the name Lisa Layne. In it, the female narrator ( Layne ), explains that she does not want Christmas decorations or gifts from Santa Claus. Instead, all she wants for Christmas is her lover. The melody used in the song is based on Bobby Vinton 's number 9 pop hit single from early 1964, `` My Heart Belongs to Only You, '' with a few minor alterations. Reception In his review of the album All I Want for Christmas Is You, Allmusic reviewer Jason Birchmeier referred to the song as a `` holiday favorite within the country community during the ' 90s '' but noted that the rest of the album was not `` remotely worth bothering with. '' Having received frequent rotation on country radio and adult contemporary radio during the Christmas season since its 1993 re-release, `` All I Want for Christmas Is You '' is also the most - played country music Christmas song. The song was also made into a music video directed by Steve Dunning. Chart performance The song first charted in early 1994 based on airplay from the 1993 Christmas season, peaking at # 55 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks ( now Hot Country Songs ) charts on the chart week of January 8, 1994. It re-entered in December 1994, reaching a new peak of # 52 on the chart week of January 7, 1995. The song re-entered the country charts again every January afterward, each time peaking higher than the last ( confusion with the unrelated Mariah Carey hit song of the same name, released in 1994, may have accounted for increased exposure ) ; it did not appear in the 1998 - 99 holiday season but again charted for the final time in January 2000, reaching its peak on that chart of 31. Although it never charted on the country charts again, it peaked at # 23 on the Hot 100 Recurrent Airplay chart in 2002 ( despite having never entered the Billboard Hot 100 or Hot 100 Airplay charts ), and has re-appeared on the Hot Country Recurrents chart every Christmas since late 2000 - early 2001.
