Kim Kardashian Unleashes ‘Santa Baby’ Cover Produced by Travis Barker with a Dark Twist
Kim Kardashian has once again surprised her fans with a major release, but this time, it’s her take on the holiday classic "Santa Baby," produced by none other than her brother-in-law, Travis Barker. Released on December 22, 2024, just in time for Christmas, Kim's version of the song has caught everyone’s attention, not just because of her unexpected musical return, but also due to the eerie music video that accompanies it.
The cover, released through DTA Records (Travis’s label) and Kim’s Kimsaprincess Inc., marks a return to the music scene for the reality star and business mogul. The song itself is a fresh rendition of the Eartha Kitt classic, but it’s the music video that has left fans scratching their heads. Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, the video features a dystopian setting where Kim, wearing a platinum blond bob wig, crawls on all fours across a surreal, chaotic party scene. The room is filled with strange characters, from a businessman on the phone to a man dressed as Jesus raiding the fridge, all creating an unsettling atmosphere. It’s a far cry from the usual Christmas cheer!

One of the most shocking moments of the video comes when Kim reaches Santa Claus, played by none other than Macaulay Culkin, who is best known for his role in the iconic film Home Alone . As Kim seductively interacts with him, Culkin reveals himself as the man behind the camera, leaving viewers even more baffled by the video's unsettling vibe. The response from fans has been mixed, with some calling the video “unhinged” and comparing it to a scene straight out of American Horror Story , while others have been impressed by Kim’s bold return to music.
This isn't Kim’s first time dabbling in music. Thirteen years ago, in 2011, she released "Jam (Turn It Up)" to raise funds for charity, but it was an endeavor she later regretted. During a 2014 interview, she admitted to feeling out of place as a singer, stating, "What gave me the right to think I could be a singer?" Despite this, she still gave fans a glimpse of her musical side in her latest release. The cover comes over a decade after her brief stint in the music industry, and while Kim once expressed regret about her previous music career, this holiday track suggests she’s ready to take another shot.
Her brother-in-law Travis Barker’s involvement in the project is noteworthy as he’s had a long-standing connection to the Kardashian family. Beyond his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian, he’s worked with Kim for over a decade, dating back to when he was romantically linked to Paris Hilton, and Kim worked as Hilton’s assistant. His expertise in music production clearly shines through in this revamped version of "Santa Baby."
The timing of the release couldn’t be more fitting as Kim has also been in the spotlight for her impressive ventures beyond reality TV. She’s currently filming a legal drama series for Hulu titled All’s Fair , and she’s also working on a comedy for Netflix, The Fifth Wheel . In addition to her music comeback, Kim continues to expand her career in Hollywood, earning praise from co-stars like Sarah Paulson, who recently commended her work ethic.
Despite the oddity of her music video, Kim Kardashian’s “Santa Baby” cover, produced by Travis Barker, is a clear reminder that she’s never far from the spotlight. Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is for sure: Kim Kardashian continues to keep us all on our toes.
