CROYDON, UK — Mick J. Clark — Warner/Chappell Publishing and Universal Records Operations artist, Grammy nominee, six-time iTunes Singles Chart entry, and the man behind one of the most enduring Christmas EPs on streaming — is back for the festive season with his new single, “It’s Getting Near Christmas.”
It is exactly the kind of Christmas song the season needs: warm, honest, and capturing all three dimensions of what December actually feels like. The excitement building toward Christmas Day. The stress that comes with it. And the romance that, when it lands, makes the whole chaotic thing worthwhile.
“I hope my song ‘It’s Getting Near Christmas’ captures the excitement leading up to Christmas Day, the stress and the romance!” — Mick J. Clark
“It’s Getting Near Christmas” joins Mick’s already celebrated festive catalogue as a fresh addition for 2026 — a song that speaks to the universal experience of the holiday season with the warmth and accessibility that has defined Mick’s songwriting throughout his career. Pop sensibility, genuine heart, and a knack for writing the kind of song that stays with you long after you’ve heard it: that is Mick J. Clark’s signature, and it is fully present here.
The single adds to a Christmas body of work that has already racked up over 300,000 streams across Mick’s Christmas EP Mick’s Christmas Mix and its three festive offerings.

Mick J. Clark is not simply a songwriter. He is a musician who uses his platform with purpose — and has the track record to prove it on every level.
His single “We Know It’s True” reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 2 in the USA on the iTunes Top 100 Rock Chart. His album Causes made it through to the 64th Grammy Award nominations. His Box Set Song Catalogue now contains 63 songs spanning Pop, Rock, Ballads, R&B, Dance, Latin, Country, and Christmas. He has appeared in the iTunes Singles Chart six times and the Album Chart once with Brand New Love Songs. His summer anthem “Anuther Sunny Hulliday” — complete with its famous Parrot Dance video — has passed 200,000 streams, as has his birthday song “Blow Those Candles Out.”
Beyond the chart success, Mick’s work has reached the places it was most needed. His empowering children’s anthem “Me My Body And I” — designed to help children resist bullying and self-harm through positive, empowering language — was placed into every school in Croydon by the Croydon Education Department. His anti-smoking and anti-drugs song “You Don’t Look Cool”, performed by students from the Brit School with kids speaking directly to kids, was similarly distributed across Croydon’s schools.
Over 1,000,000 Spotify streams across his catalogue. A multi-instrumentalist across guitar, drums, and keyboards. A man who has always believed music can do more than entertain — and has repeatedly proven it.
