Three years after his death, George Michael will have a new song out in time for the holidays.
A new song from the late British icon is being featured in the upcoming movie Last Christmas, which is also the title of Michael’s biggest hits.
The song is called “This Is How (We Want You to Get High),”and was co-written by Michael and James Jackman, whom he frequently collaborated with throughout his career. The song, recorded in 2015 at London’s Air Studios, marks the first song from Michael to be released in seven years, the outlet said.
Last Christmas, which stars Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding, is named for the the holiday classic song of the same name, which Michael sang with his Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgely.
Director, Paul Feig says “George’s music affects the story " in the movie. “There are a couple of sections where the actors are actually interacting with the music and other sections where George’s music is driving, or underscoring the story. So it’s a nice mix of being neither a jukebox movie nor straight-up musical.” In addition to the new track, Last Christmas will include several more of Michael’s classics, like “Faith,” “Fastlove Part1,” and “Freedom! ’90.” Viewers can also expect to hear “Everything She Wants” and “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”
Last Christmas opens in theaters on November 8.
