Written by George Michael, Last Christmas was released in 1984 back when he was still in Wham!. The song charted at number two only being outdone by Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas. Wham! would go on to donate all of the monies they received for the Christmas release to the famine relief fund as well. Last Christmas holds the record for being the song that has sold the most copies but never made it to number one on the charts.
The video for the song marks the last time a clean shaved George Michael would appear in a video. The next video the group released was for Everything She Wants and he was already sporting his soon-to-be trademark beard.
