I grew up listening to his song ‘It’s Been a Long, Long Time’ countless times a day, and I feel incredibly fortunate and honored to have sung along on ‘White Christmas’ with the voice of someone I consider an idol. Being a huge fan of his, I sang with the utmost sincerity and admiration for him, and I hope many people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed singing it. Lastly, I wish a lovely holiday season to everyone listening to the song.”

Even Bing Crosby’s kids have shown admiration and love for the collaboration, saying “Their voices blend beautifully, capturing the holiday spirit in the best possible way” and “We are happy that V will help share the joy of this timeless Christmas song.”.
