Work on _This is How (We Want You to Get High) began in early 2012. The track was subsequently developed and recorded in sessions at Air Studios in London, before the finishing touches were added in late 2015 during George's final recording sessions.

With its uplifting vibe and socially-conscious message, This is How (We Want You to Get High)_ is a fitting finale to _Last Christmas, Universal Pictures' new romantic comedy. The film was inspired by the eponymous Wham! hit, and has a soundtrack featuring three Wham! tracks and twelve songs from George Michael's solo career. Director Paul Feig (_Bridesmaids, Mad Men_) describes the movie as 'a love letter to George'.

The film was co-scripted by Academy Award(R)winner Emma Thompson, who stars alongside Emilia Clarke (_Game of Thrones_) and Henry Golding (_Crazy Rich Asians_). Thompson visited George at his North London home in the Spring of 2013 to talk through her ideas for the screenplay.
George loved what she had to say and gave his blessing. The actress and screenwriter then developed various versions of the script before George's sudden passing on Christmas Day 2016.

In the Spring of 2018, after discussions over which songs would be in the film, Emma Thompson was given an exclusive preview of four new, finished and unreleased George Michael tracks. She instantly fell in love with This Is How (We Want You To Get High_), remarking how the lyrics resonated with the film's central themes.

The film Last Christmas will be released in the United States on November 8, the United Kingdom on November 15 and on assorted dates throughout the rest of the world until 27 December. The Soundtrack will be released on November 8.
