4 Carats

About 4 Carats

"4 Carats" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, from her sixth studio album, Wrapped in Red (2013). Written by Clarkson, Cathy Dennis, Livvi Franc, with Greg Kurstin, who helmed the song's production. A Christmas pop song, "4 Carats" was originally written for Clarkson's seventh studio album that would have followed-up Wrapped in Red. Lyrically, the song explores the themes of holiday gift giving and materialism, with the singer asking Santa Claus for a four carat gemstone ring for Christmas day. Clarkson took inspirations from the songs "Santa Baby" (1953) and "Material Girl" (1984), sung by Eartha Kitt and Madonna, respectively, and described it as a crossover between the two. Upon its release, "4 Carats" has received a mixed to positive reviews, who lauded the song's holiday pop sound but were ambivalent towards Clarkson singing a voluptuous number, due to her being a wholesome artist. Boosted by digital sales following Wrapped in Red's release, it entered the Billboard Holiday Digital Songs chart as an album cut at number 30 on the week ending November 16, 2013. It also charted on the South Korean Gaon International Singles Chart at number 144 on the week ending November 23, 2013. more »

The door's unlocked
And you don't even have to knock
Or you can use the fireplace
I'll be waiting either way

You come and go
And no one is supposed to know
But ever since you caught my stare
You know I know that you are real

Well Santa I've been thinking
And I'm just in need one thing
You to bring me, something shiny

Like diamond ring
Just a little something from Tiffany's
Or a big ruby
You know that has always looked good on me

I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone)
Anyone
I've been good all year long
Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve
4 Carats please

Oh oh
Oh

It's getting late
I know you have your rounds to make
But I've been waiting up for you
And now the clock has just struck 2

I'm looking out my windows
Looking for a red nose
My heart's sinking
Don't forget me

Oh my diamond ring
Just a little something from Tiffany's
Or a big ruby
You know that has always looked good on me

I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone)
Anyone
I've been good all year long
Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve
4 Carats please

Oh oh
Oh oh

Mm, something sparkly
Yellow canaries
Ooh yea yea
Mm, I'm waiting patiently
Santa don't forget me
Ooh don't forget me!

Oh my diamond ring
Just a little something from Tiffany's
Or a big ruby
You know that has always looked good on me

I won't tell (I wont't tell anyone)
Anyone
I've been good all year long
Oh Santa make my Christmas Eve
4 Carats please

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
