His update with Clarkson addresses concerns that male singer in the original song was pressuring the female singer to stay with him against her will and may have even slipped something into her drink.

Legend said the song has become emblematic of the backlash towards the #MeToo movement.

\"It's interesting ... people thinking we've gone too far speaking up for a woman's right to not get raped or sexually harassed, when some would argue we've not gone far enough,\" Legend told the outlet.

\"People think that because some people have lost their jobs, or have been expelled from Hollywood, like [Harvey] Weinstein, that we've gone too far,\" he added. \"I don't agree. But people wanted the 'Baby It's Cold Outside' war to be a proxy war for all that.\"

If you don't like the song, Legend's holiday album \"A Legendary Christmas\" includes plenty of other seasonal tunes to enjoy, including a duet with Stevie Wonder on his song \"What Christmas Means to Me.\"

It also has new takes on \"This Christmas,\" \"Please Come Home for Christmas,\" \"Christmas Time Is Here\" and \"Silver Bells.\"
