This is the second track released ahead of the album's debut. Tracks will be released every Friday until the album drops on Dec. 23.

Last week, the track "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" was released.

Recorded at Rittenhouse Soundworks, Silent Partners, and Elm St studio, proceeds from the album will be donated to the Children’s Treatment Crisis Center in Philadelphia.

This summer, Kelce, Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Connor Barwin, and War on Drugs Drummer Charlie Hall joined forces to record "A Philly Special Christmas."

The seven song album features classic holiday songs and performances from the aforementioned players as well as Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), Rob Hyman (The Hooters), Eric Bazilian (The Hooters), Lady Alma, Zach Miller (Dr. Dog), Robbie Bennett (The War on Drugs), Eliza Hardy Jones (The War on Drugs), Brandon Beaver (MeWithoutYou), Thomas Hughes (The Spinto Band), Randy Huth (Pissed Jeans), Nick Krill (The Spinto Band, Teen Men), Nasir Dickerson, Kaila Vandever, Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner, and The Silver Ages.

Eagles announcer Merrill Reese and players Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, Brandon Graham, Haason Reddick, and Jordan Davis all make appearances.

"It's amazing how talented these guys are and cool to see Philly's music and sports worlds come together to create something special for the holidays," Barwin said. "I'm proud that everyone involved wanted to do something good with this record by donating proceeds to the annual toy drive at the Children's Crisis Treatment Center in Philadelphia to help bring a little joy to families during the holidays."
