LYRICS
Hey Santa, I’ve been cheeky, not too bad
Pulled a few pranks, little fun I had
Stayed up all night, watchin’ viral hits
I kept the last cookie, I’ll admit
I know you see it all, up in the sky
Every little laugh, every little sigh
Cheeky or nice, does it count this year
I tried my best, hope you hear
Santa, Santa, am I on your list
A bit naughty, but mostly full of bliss
Maybe I broke a heart, I think just one
Didn’t mean to, it just came undone
Failed to write back more than twice
Let some good conversations turn to ice
I know you see it all, every move I make
From the lies I keep to the cookies I bake
Cheeky or nice, does it count this year
I tried my best, hope you hear
Santa, Santa, am I on your list
A bit naughty, but mostly full of bliss
I’ve let a few moments fall out of place
Tried my best, still lost the race
Turned up late with that sorry grin
But I’m getting better, lesson by lesson
I know you see it all, up in the sky
Every little laugh, every little sigh
Cheeky or nice, does it count tonight
I’ve tried my best, I’ll make it right
Santa, Santa, let me in the fun
A cheeky heart still shines like the sun
Ooh, just a little twist
On the nice list, with a warning kiss
Yeah, find me in the glow
With my cheeky heart on show
Cheeky or nice, does it count tonight
I’ve tried my best, I’ll make it right
Santa, Santa, let me in the fun
A cheeky heart still shines like the sun
Santa, Santa, I’ve been cheeky but kind
Santa, Santa, hope you’re readin’ my mind
Santa, Santa, cheeky or nice
Santa, Santa, I’ve been cheeky but kind
Santa, Santa, hope you’re readin’ my mind
Santa, Santa, cheeky or nice
This song was inspired by the mix of guilt and hope, and the desire to be seen for both the good and the mistakes, especially during Christmas time.
It’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if you’ve been good enough, whether you measure up or got on Santa’s “nice list” this year.
We all make mistakes, do things we’re not proud of, or just live in a way that isn’t perfect — and that’s okay.
Cheeky or Nice is a reminder that being human means being a little messy sometimes, but it doesn’t erase the kindness in your heart.
This song gives a playful nudge: it’s okay to be cheeky, it’s okay to not be perfect, and it’s okay to hope that your efforts, your care, and your small good deeds still count.
It’s a way to acknowledge that everyone has their moments. And it’s ok to laugh at your small missteps, owning them, and still believing you deserve joy this festive season.
So sing along, feel the fun, and remember to celebrate yourself as you are: imperfect but kind. ♡
