POP SENSATIONS SALEM ILESE & GO-JO RELEASE ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM AUSTRALIA”

Superstars salem ilese and Go-Jo are wrapping up the year together with a new Christmas anthem straight from the Southern Hemisphere, teaming up to release “Merry Christmas From Australia,” which is out now here. A joyful, sun-soaked twist on the traditional holiday song that leans into all the quirks (and charm) of a Christmas celebrated in scorching heat instead of snow.

The track captures the feeling of an Aussie December: backyard BBQs, ocean swims, sunscreen instead of snow boots, and that wonderful holiday energy. It’s playful, warm, and effortlessly catchy — exactly the kind of pop moment that salem ilese has become known for. Go-Jo’s charisma is the perfect match, giving the song a down-to-earth local flavour that brings the whole idea to life.

American singer-songwriter Salem of course has built a giant global following with 1 Billion streams which includes breakout hits “Mad at Disney and PS5.” Go-Jo, meanwhile, has become one of Australia’s most exciting artists representing Australia at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with fans favourite “Milkshake Man”, and for his previous debut global smash hit “Mrs Hollywood”. 2025 has been a breakout year for Go-Jo with a successful headline tour across Europe and a national tour supporting James Blunt.

“Merry Christmas From Australia” brings the two artists together for a festive track that feels both fun and full of heart — a reminder that the holiday season doesn’t have to be snowy to be magical. With its breezy production, cheeky lyrics, and undeniable melody, it’s bound to become a Christmas staple.
