It was the first of five songs written by Roxanne Seeman on the request of producer Andrew Tuason for Jacky Cheung's "Private Corner" canto-jazz album. Cheung said he tried having the lyrics for "Everyday Is Christmas" adapted into Cantonese, but he liked the meaning of the lyrics in English so much that he decided to record it in English. It is the only song on the "Private Corner" album that Cheung sings in English.
