Santa, Please” brings a new holiday classic that is becoming a household favorite one listen at a time.

The song, centered on asking Santa for the perfect gift, mirrors Johnson’s own journey and hope for a breakthrough. Completing the song took a stroke of divine inspiration, with the final, perfect hook arriving in a dream, proving that with the power of persistence, faith, and belief. breakthroughs often come when least expected. “Oh! Santa, Please” is now available on all streaming platforms. Oh! Santa, Please" - https://youtu.be/vSL_kYEfZZQ
