John Mayer drops new song ‘CVS Bag’ and music lovers label it an instant Christmas classic
If you have a list of songs to celebrate Christmas this year, here's a new track you can add to your playlist. John Mayer just dropped a new holiday classic 'CVS Bag' and his new song might fall in line with the likes of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' and Wham!'s 'Last Christmas'.
Introducing his new track, the 42-year-old Grammy-winning singer posted on Instagram, "CVS Bag. I wrote a song about the trustiest of companions while staying at someone else’s house for the holidays. Please enjoy ‘CVS Bag,’ as performed last night on @currentmood. Happy Holidays!"
The lyrics of the holiday song read: “I fell asleep too early / I woke up at midnight / I was hungry / It was alright, you were there / CVS bag on the table.” Spilling more details about what inspired him to write it, he said, “I wrote this song myself, and it’s about something we all encounter in the holidays.”
The track captures the essence of all the times we plan to go to our parents’ house to laze around with just a CVS bag full of snacks and a phone charger. “So when you go home for the holidays, and you stay in your family’s house, you’re a guest,” Mayer added. “There’s not much you can do.”
The guitarist also hinted at all the stuff lying in his CVS bag. It includes, “a thing for my dad, a travel thing of Q-tips and an Applebee’s card,” plus “87 cents in change, mixed in with some cotton from a men’s vitamin range.”
No sooner did his fans listen to the song, they couldn't stop praising it, especially for its relatability factor. “Bro! As a traveling musician, you seriously know how accurate this is. Lol. I hop it charts for you dude! the check had me #cvsbag,” one comment read and another said, “Definitely going platinum. You missed one key element in the CVS bag. The mile-long CVS receipt you can repurpose as a marathon finish line tape.”
