Local radio favourite and breakfast show host Piers Mettrick has released his brand-new Christmas single, “When the Christmas Lights Come On”. The track, now available on Spotify, has quickly climbed the charts, delighting fans with its warm seasonal spirit and heartfelt message.
But this release is about more than music. In a heartfelt gesture, Piers has pledged that all proceeds from the single will be donated to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Trust, supporting the incredible work they do for young patients and their families.
“When the Christmas Lights Come On,’ written and sung by Piers Mettrick, is a bittersweet, emotional song about love, loss, and the way memories glow a little brighter at Christmas. It follows someone who’s lost a person they deeply loved – a partner, a family member, or a close friend – and all year they try to carry on. But when December arrives and the decorations appear, every light, every song, every snowflake reminds them of the one who’s gone. Even though they’re gone, the person lives on in these glowing moments, so every year, when the Christmas lights come on, it feels like they’re together again for a little while.”
The single has already gained momentum, resonating with listeners across the UK and beyond. Fans can stream “When the Christmas Lights Come On” on Spotify, and enjoy the official video now available on YouTube.
With its poignant storytelling and charitable mission, Piers Mettrick’s Christmas single is shaping up to be one of the standout festive releases of the year.
