LOLO Gets Festive With 'Mall Santa'

10-23-2026

(IMAGE) LOLO is trading holiday cheer for heartbreak with the release of her new double single, mall santa, out today. Featuring the title track and "silent night," the project delivers a bittersweet twist on the most wonderful time of the year.

"mall santa" finds LOLO turning to an unlikely source for a Christmas miracle: a stranger dressed as Santa Claus. The track transforms an emotional spiral into a witty holiday anthem. Meanwhile, the artist's cover of "silent night" offers a stripped-back, heartfelt take on the Christmas classic.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the project, LOLO shared, "'mall santa' is about being so heartbroken and desperate, that you are willing to try anything...including trauma dumping on a random man dressed as Santa Claus. I loved the idea of taking a really sad and pathetic feeling and putting it in such a ridiculous setting, because that's how heartbreak feels a lot of the time. You know there's no magical fix, but a tiny part of you is still like...okay, but what if there is? I hope this song speaks to anyone who is spending the holidays wishing for the one thing Santa most definitely can't put under the tree."

mall santa follows an exciting year for LOLO, who unveiled her critically acclaimed sophomore album, 'god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!', in April (via Fearless Records). The deeply personal project further cemented her reputation for turning messy emotions, romantic misadventures, and intrusive thoughts into infectious pop-rock gems.
