Cher has officially announced her festive album 'Christmas' and released the lead single, 'DJ Play A Christmas Song'.
Cher recorded all of 'Christmas' with her longtime collaborator Mark Taylor, one of the producers behind her hit song 'Believe.'
The first single 'DJ Play A Christmas Song' is all about going out clubbing during the holidays and hoping to hear Christmas music, “It’s cold outside, but it’s warm in here/ And that’s the only thing I want this year.”

The 'If I Could Turn Back Time' hitmaker has unveiled her first album in five years, which boasts an array of artists, including Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, Cyndi Lauper, Darlene Love, and most interestingly, rapper Tyga.
The 13-track album includes four new original songs, including the lead single.
‘What Christmas Means To Me’ features Stevie Wonder while ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ features Darlene, who first recorded the song with Phil Spector and a teen Cher, on backing vocals.
Cher has also recorded a rendition of Bublé's 'Home' with the man himself.
