In 2018, LeAnn Rimes played the main role in a Hallmark Channel television film titled It's Christmas, Eve, as well as providing the sound track. Speaking with TV Insider, Rimes explained "...there's a zillion different ways to get music out in people's hands and their ears, and this is just a great way to be able to combine both film and music into one project." The album consisted of nine tracks, five of which were composed by Rimes. She collaborated with producers Darrell Brown and Dave Audé on the songs. The title track was the first song she composed, beginning the writing process in February 2018. "It's a love song of hope, togetherness and a remembrance of what's most important in life, creating memories with the ones we love," she told Variety. Other original tracks were the songs "You and Me and Christmas" and "The Gift of Your Love". The soundtrack also includes Rimes's version of "White Christmas", "Carol of the Bells" and two medley holiday tracks. The album was recorded at three studios located in both Tennessee and California: Absolute Sound, Audacious, Surf Shack and Village Recorders. Release
