Scotty McCreery has started work on his sophomore album, but it looks like he may be recording some Christmas music too! Find out which Justin Bieber song he has reportedly cut, after the jump!

UPDATE: Scotty CONFIRMS he is in the studio recording Christmas songs with this tweet and picture (now our feature picture)!

well its still 90 some degrees outside, but its Christmas in July here in the studio…..

Alert Scotty fans picked up immediately when Nashville musician/singer/songwriter Nick Autry tweeted:

@scottymccreery wraps up a Christmas record so they felt the need to bring the decorations and gear to my office http://instagr.am/p/Ni23mUHrVX/

Autry deleted that tweet after getting some excited replies from Scotty fans, but it fits with another interesting tidbit of information: Scotty is currently listed as a performer of “All I Want Is You”, written by Justin Bieber and Brandon Hamilton. This is a song on Justin’s 2011 Christmas album Under The Mistletoe.

Here is Justin’s version of the song. Can you hear Scotty’s deeper, non-melismatic voice on the song, and can you imagine it being countrified?

Being listed by a publisher as a performer of a song isn’t a guarantee it will be released on an album or EP. But, it may be a smart idea for Scotty, who is only about 5 months older than the Biebs, to get the notice of some Beliebers as he tries to solidify his fanbase for his sophomore album. And, it might be a nice move for the Biebs to pick up some cred by co-writing a song cut by Scotty.

Last year, Scotty performed a nice version of “The First Noel” on the CMA Country Christmas special. Could that be another song we can look forward to hearing from him as a studio cut?

With his current single “Water Tower Town” treading water on the country charts (it did just make Billboard t40 in its 15th week, and has a solid chance of making Mediabase t40 next week), it would make sense for Scotty to be hard at work on new music. Christmas music may be a good way for Scotty to keep his fanbase engaged during the holiday season as they await his sophomore album, which Scotty has said is likely to come out next year. Do you think a Christmas album or EP would be a good move for him?

    I hope he records The First Noel. I loved it when he surprised a fan who had cancer at the CMA Country Christmas!(She is doing good now)

    Remember Christmas Cookies – Scotty did it so cute – a little different than George Stait’s – both are excellent – I still watch Scotty’s and it is a very hot July

    I doubt that I will be critical of anything that Scotty records to CD….Christmas songs, new material, covers, or whatever.  I just love his voice and the unique changes he brings to old material. Sign me up.

    There was so much over production in the Bieb song. Hopefully, that will all go away when Scotty records it because his voice transcends any production that could be added. Just give him good backing musicians….that’s all he needs.

    Really don’t think he’s doing a Christmas album. Has no one ever heard of Christmas in July? Lot of peeps celebrating it. Oh and I also saw this tweet from a girl to Scotty’s dad and his reply:

    “@Jillann8: @MikeMGarner Didn’t realize Twitter would be so happening on Thursday night, but some guy tweets a pic of himself in a Santa Hat & #voila!?”

    “@MikeMGarner: @Jillann8 And people think that means he’s doing a Christmas album. Ha! It’s his new camo hat!”

     I think that’s Mr. Mike teasing us fans. He has always had a great sense of humor!

    Yes other artists have put out Christmas albums early in their career. David A.’s Christmas album sold very well for a Christmas album in 2009. Scotty should stay away from Bieber songs. I think his audience is mostly older women anyway.

    Yeah, and from what comments show you are not the only one. People keep watching his Christmas songs regardless of season. That´s quite amazing. And yes, I remember his Christmas Cookies.  Loved it. loved all his xmas songs :)

    Exactly. He was on Twitter a lot last night waitng for Ashley ‘s plane to land from Nashville. He is a teaser and often gives little clues just to get us fans going.

    “Justin has enough fans who to be honest wouldn’t give a shit about Scotty which means no more fans for Scotty”———————————————————

    Scotty is hardly including 1 country – and Scottyfied Justin Bieber song on his X-mas album with the intention of capturing the Bieber fan base. So, it doesn´t really matter if Justins fans don ´t give a shit about Scotty and won´t like, convert or become fans. The crowd of listeners and possible new fans is bigger than that

    The thing is he has learned to really connect with the songs he sings. Makes them new.
