Robbie Williams has weighed into fan speculation surrounding Olivia Rodrigo’s first Christmas single, *Take Me Home 4 Christmas*

Listeners have posted clips comparing its melody with Williams’s 2012 hit *Candy*, prompting the singer to send Rodrigo a pointed festive greeting online

The new release also draws on The Waitresses’ 1981 song *Christmas Wrapping*, with songwriter Chris Butler reportedly rejecting plagiarism claims

Rodrigo has faced similar scrutiny before, including comparisons involving Paramore and Taylor Swift’s music, although she has denied any personal songwriting feud.
