Underwood previously explained that “Little Drummer Boy” gave her the inspiration to name the album My Gift. “The sentiment behind it is just so honest,” she explained. “There’s a little boy, and of course I think of my 5-year-old, Isaiah. They’re bringing gifts to baby Jesus, he doesn’t have anything, he’s poor. So he says, ‘I know, I’m going to play my drum for him, that’s what I have.’ To me, that’s a gift that was given to him by God. His love of music. I imagine he was a good little drummer. I love music, I love singing, that is my personal gift that I have that I get to do, that I’m so blessed to do, and I want to use that gift and I want to give it back to Jesus.”
