"My Gift Is You" is a song by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani from her fourth studio album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017).
The lyrics revolve around Stefani's relationship with boyfriend Blake Shelton and deal with choosing true love over materialism during the holiday season.
[1] The title of several tracks first leaked on August 2, 2017, when they appeared as published works on the official website for GEMA, a German music database.
[2] The song was officially revealed as part of the parent album on September 18 when Stefani unveiled its title, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, in addition to its track listing and the lead single.
[6] Stefani had expressed interest in collaborating with Busbee, who also serves as an executive producer for the parent album, ever since she had heard his work on Pink's "Try" in 2012.
Rachel McRady from Entertainment Tonight suggested that even when considering their previously released duet ("You Make It Feel Like Christmas"), "My Gift Is You" may be the "most telling tune" on the parent album.
Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine singled out the track as a highlight on You Make It Feel Like Christmas, describing it as "Stefani's obligatory entry in the canon of contemporary holiday songs in which the singer eschews all things material".
