A new film featuring George Michael music reveled a new song recorded by the late star before his death in 2016. The track,"This Is How (We Want You To Get High)" is the first original release from the late British artist since 2012, and will be played at the end of upcoming film Last Christmas - a film inspired by Michael's music.

Michael, who is one of the best-selling artists of all time, passed away from natural causes at his home on Christmas Day in 2016, at the age of 53. His new track, which debuted on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, is, reportedly, about societal problems.

A press release about the new song read: "The previously unreleased track, which was recorded during George's final studio sessions, is his first original material to be shared for seven years.. The lyrics, written exclusively by George, see the star addressing society's ills with his trademark blend of self-deprecation and wry humour."

Alongside the track, a video was released online with the lyrics of the song.

His new track features lyrics such as, "Your daddy was a drinker", "My daddy was a toker" and "I will always try to get my life together".

According to Associated Press, Michael began working on the song on in 2012 and recorded it in London, before it was finalised in 2015, in his last ever studio sessions before his death.

Michael was an English singer, songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career. Michael has sold over 115 million records worldwide making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

He achieved seven number one songs on the UK Singles Chart and eight number one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. He was widely known for his success in the 1980s and 1990s, including Wham! singles such as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas" and solo singles such as "Careless Whisper" and "Faith".
