Last Christmas was originally released by Wham! in 1984, written by George Michael, and has since become one of the most recognisable seasonal pop songs in the world. Its mix of festive production and melancholic romance helped it return to the charts year after year and inspire countless covers. Online, short excerpts are reused every December for holiday edits, nostalgic posts and playful seasonal memes, with this revised clip version circulating on soundboards as a quick way to add Christmas atmosphere.
