Pentatonix's cover of "Santa Tell Me" is a pop Christmas song about romantic uncertainty during the holiday season. The singer asks Santa whether a potential love interest will still be around next year, hoping to avoid another heartbreak. The lyrics express a desire for lasting love rather than a fleeting holiday fling, with references to Christmas traditions like mistletoe and the fireplace. While the song has a festive setting, its focus is on personal relationships and emotional caution, not on Christian themes of Christ's birth or faith.

Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Feeling Christmas all around
And I'm tryna play it cool
But it's hard to focus when I see you walking 'cross the room
"Let It Snow" is blasting out
But I won't get in the mood
I'm avoiding every mistletoe until I know
It's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
I've been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night
But on New Year's Day I woke up and he wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling
Or if it's true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-ooh-ooh
On the 25th by the fireplace, oh-ooh-ooh
But I don't want a new broken heart
This year I've got to be smart
Oh, baby
Santa tell me
If ya won't be
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here
Next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here
Next year
Santa tell me
Santa tell me
If you won't be here
Next year
