It's the most wonderful day of the year, and EXO has prepared another exciting Winter Special Album for 2016.  With just a few days left before Christmas, EXO debuted their new holiday track titled "For Life."

"For Life" is just one of the five tracks on EXO's Winter Special Album 2016. Allkpop reports that the song is produced by Kenzie and Matthew Tishler. The song speaks about a lover's promise to the person he loves "for life."

EXO released Korean and Chinese versions of the music video, which stars Kai, Chanyeol and Suho. With the release of the music videos, the EXO Winter Special Album 2016 has also been released simultaneously in music websites.

The EXO Winter Special Album 2016 is the fourth Christmas album from the group. Ever since they made their debut, EXO has been releasing a Winter Special Album annually. In the previous years, they came out with "Miracles in December," The Winter's Tale" and "Sing For You."

The Christmas albums are very special and dear to the members of EXO. It is their way of giving back to fans and thanking them for all the support they've been given throughout the year.

"The special winter album that EXO releases every December is meant to be a special Christmas gift for all of EXO's fans," SM Entertainment said about the reason behind the Winter Special Albums, as quoted by Soompi. "By releasing winter songs of a high caliber in December, the members hope to express their gratitude for the fans who have given the group their unwavering love and support throughout the year."

Indeed, all of EXO's Winter Special Albums are of high caliber and consistently did well on the charts. Case in point: "Sing For You" hit No. 6 on the Billboard World Album Chart upon its release.
