Background
Finneas hinted the song on Twitter on November 25, 2020. His post captioned: "Christmas song on Tuesday."[1] Finneas wrote "Another Year" back in December 2019. He explained in a statement about the creation of the song: "I wrote this song last Christmas, with a year of uncertainty ahead of us, had I known, anything I know now about how 2020 would go, I don’t think I would have changed a word. I hope wherever this song finds you, it brings you some small dose of comfort. The horizon is bright I think."[2][3]
