"Hallelujah" is a song recorded by American country music singer-songwriter Carrie Underwood featuring pop singer-songwriter John Legend, appearing on Underwood's first full-length holiday album, My Gift.[1]

Background and composition

The song was written by Legend and Toby Gad, and sent to Underwood late into the album-making process.[2] Underwood said, "I was deep into making the album, and this one kind of came in. He sent it to us kind of at the end. It was like, 'Well, I love the song. I feel like this is a puzzle piece I didn't know was missing, but now that I've heard it, I have to have it. And so we just put the ask back, 'Thank you for sending, do you want to sing a part with me, too?'."

Music video

The official music video premiered on November 19.[3] It was directed by Randee St. Nicholas. It depicts Underwood in a snowy forest until she joins Legend at a piano inside an old, abandoned church. There are flashes of people in the background with candles, as they attended the church in its former glory. There are also two live doves on Legend's piano during the video.

Live Performances

Underwood and Legend performed the song for Underwood's holiday special streaming on HBO Max.[4]

Critical reception

Vinyl Chapters gave a positive review of the song, calling it a "breathtaking duet" between Underwood and Legend, and also a "notable standout track" from the album.[5]
