About Baby, It's Cold Outside (feat. Kelly Clarkson)

John Legend joined Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show to perform the duo’s new version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” The track, which comes off Legend’s new holiday album, A Legendary Christmas, has been updated for the modern era, with fresh lyrics like, “It’s your body and your choice.” In the performance, Legend and Clarkson are joined by a band and a horn section as they duet on the soulful tune. The song gets a big band feel at the end as the instrumentals and vocals build to a climax. “I simply should go (text me when you get home),” the pair croons. “Oh, I’m supposed to say no (mm, I guess that’s respectable)/This welcome has been (I feel lucky that you dropped in)/So nice and warm (but you better go before it storms).”
