“All I Want for Christma Is You” co-writer, Walter Afanasieff, has spoken out about working with Mariah Carey and said her story about the song is a “tall tale”.
The 64-year-old record producer discussed the beloved holiday tune during Thursday’s episode of the Hot Takes & Deep Dives podcast. Speaking to host Jess Rothschild, Afanasieff claimed that he and Carey were “on the same page” about how to write the song. However, it wasn’t until 10 years ago that an “alternate story” was shared about the songwriting process.
