• Psychedelic Furs lead singer and lyricist Richard Butler is an avowed atheist; in this song he states his position regarding the "holy rollers" who hold that against him. "It's a lot about people looking down on you for a lack of faith, and again, to reiterate my own lack of belief," he said in a Songfacts interview.
• This is far from a Christmas song, but the title is a reference to the traditional holiday favorite "O Come All Ye Faithful." The line, "When I said I loved you, well I lied," indicates the voice of the higher power pulling the rug out from under the believer.
• This was the fifth single from Made Of Rain, the first Psychedelic Furs album since 1991. The group was only inactive from 1992-1999, but after they re-formed in 2000, it was to tour, not to make new music. Eventually, they settled in with the same six members and started hitting on musical ideas.
  
  "Come All Ye Faithful" evolved out of a musical idea generated by guitarist Rich Good, who joined the band in 2009. Was inspired by a David Essex song from 1973 called "Lamplight."
• Richard Fortus, a guitarist in Guns N' Roses at the time, produced the album. Fortus has a long history with The Psychedelic Furs and was part of their offshoot band, Love Spit Love, in the '90s.
• The music video, in typical Furs form, is rather obtuse. It follows a man wearing women's jewelry and a dress through the woods and eventually into the water, where he walks in and fades away.
