Miller-Heidke said "The Beards opened for me on tour a couple of years ago, and some of their fans heckled me for not having a beard. This song is my revenge on them. Also, it taps into my sick love of Christmas songs. It's one of the poppiest, most upbeat songs I've ever written and it's my dream that it gets played at Westfield during extended Christmas shopping hours."{{cite web|url=https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/kate-miller-heidke-growing-beard-downstairs-christmas-festive-charity-single-beards/|title=Kate Miller-Heidke & The Beards Just Dropped a Festive Charity Christmas Single About Pubes |website=Music Feeds|date=25 November 2015|accessdate=21 July 2020}}
