In June 2013, speculation arose that Lewis' fourth album would in fact be a Christmas album, after British production duo MagicIT tweeted that they were in a studio recording Christmas songs with the singer. [7] The following month, Lewis confirmed that she was indeed in the process of recording a Christmas album. [4] [8] She revealed that it was recorded on the recommendation of Syco boss Simon Cowell. [4] [8] Speaking about the decision to record a Christmas album at this point in her career in July 2013, further explained how Cowell had come up with the idea: "Simon is still very much involved in my career and helps me out. He came up with the Christmas album idea, and we both kind of felt it was the right time to go ahead with it." [9] Corner, Lewis (21 June 2013). "Leona Lewis to release Christmas album?".

Christmas, with Love is a Christmas album and the fourth studio album by English singer Leona Lewis. It was released on 29 November 2013, by Syco Music and RCA Records. Work on the album began in February 2013, during which Lewis began writing "immediately" after the release of her less-commercially successful album Glassheart (2012). In June 2013, it was revealed (and later confirmed) that Lewis' fourth studio album would be a Christmas album, based on the recommendation of Syco boss Simon Cowell. Lewis enlisted two producers for the album: Richard "Biff" Stannard and Ash Howes, with Lewis herself contributing to the album's production. This is Lewis' first album to be released in North America since 2009's Echo, as her 2012 album, Glassheart, was not released there. a b c "Leona Lewis shares "Kiss Me It's Christmas" with Ne-Yo". retropopmagazine.com. 2 November 2021.

For Leona Lewis—like many people—pandemic Christmas in 2020 was memorable for all the wrong reasons. “It was really awful,” she tells Apple Music. “I was away from my family and I hadn’t seen them for a year. I felt very isolated. It was the worst Christmas ever, basically.” Yet the experience prompted her to do something she had wanted to do for years: return to her 2013 Christmas album Christmas, With Love, on which she’d spawned a huge Christmas hit (“One More Sleep”) and covered iconic festive songs including “White Christmas”—done as Otis Redding had—and “Winter Wonderland”. “I didn’t want to record a whole new album, because I very much love this album and what it represents for me,” says Lewis. “After what happened last Christmas, I was like, ‘I have to do this, because I’ve been so down this whole time.’ I want this album to bring a bit of comfort to people after a crazy year.”
