Jimmy Fallon premieres comedic Christmas song with Ariana Grande & Megan Thee Stallion

By Megan Armstrong | Last updated 12/7/21

We're used to Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion putting out new music individually, but now they have a song together.

With Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon explained how his new comedic single "It Was A...(Masked Christmas)" featuring Grande and Megan came to be before premiering the official music video on Monday's The Tonight Show:

"It's basically about how last year was just rough on everybody, and it's gonna get better," Fallon said. "It really is gonna get better. Trust me. And how can I portray that? And also thinking about what funny things happened while we were in lockdown. Putting Purell on everything. Going on to Zoom, Zooming your grandpa [or] grandma."

The trio separately gushed over their unlikely but magical collaboration online:

Guys. I can’t believe I’m typing this but - I’m dropping a new single and video tonight with @ArianaGrande and @theestallion. Midnight EST. Pre-save: https://t.co/2g7oR5l4Tu #ItWasAMaskedChristmas
