Explained in plain English

Who chooses the advert music?

The music for the John Lewis Christmas advert is carefully selected to evoke emotion and resonate with a wide audience. Often, it's a cover version of a well-known song by an emerging or popular artist, like Sam Fender's Rolling Stones cover this year. This choice can significantly boost the artist's profile and the song's popularity, making the music a talking point.
