All songs were written, arranged and produced by George Michael, except \u2018This is How (We Want You to Get High)\u2019, which was co-written and co-produced by George Michael and James Jackman.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Directed by Paul Feig and co-scripted by Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, the film stars Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh and Thompson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Last Christmas <\/em>came together after producer David Livingstone spoke to Emma Thompson about his love of Wham!\u2019s iconic hit, which sparked the idea to make a film inspired by the track. In the spring of 2013, she visited George Michael at his London home, where he gave the project his blessing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of her meeting with George Michael, Emma Thompson said, &#8220;the wisdom and emotional scope of George\u2019s lyrics have always amazed me \u2013 so many feel like they were written for the movie. After I met George and experienced his compassion and understanding up close, I realised that in fact the movie was written for those lyrics.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Thompson heard the new track, \u2018This is How (We Want You to Get High)\u2019, she instantly knew it had to be part of <em>Last Christmas.<\/em> An extended version will be available on the vinyl version of the soundtrack.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Last Christmas <\/em>soundtrack is available digitally and on CD now, with the vinyl edition set to follow on 15th November \u2013 the same day as the film arrives in UK cinemas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album tracklisting is as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
