This Is How (We Want You to Get High), co-written and co-produced by George Michael and collaborator James Jackman, is out now.

The previously unreleased track, which was recorded during George’s final studio sessions, is his first original material to be shared for seven years.

A funky, upbeat soon-to-be-classic, This is How (We Want You to Get High) has a seductive George Michael hook and melody that will delight you all. The lyrics, written exclusively by George, see the star addressing society’s ills with his trademark blend of self-deprecation and wry humour.

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.

“We hope fans and lovelies! everywhere rejoice in hearing this great new song written as ever with Yog‘s immense passion and pride. This new track we proudly send as his gift to you this season to bring you all love and festive joy…
– Whoever you worship…
– Whoever you love…”
Melanie, Yioda, Jack and David.

With its uplifting vibe and socially-conscious message, the song 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 tracks from Wham! and 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 winner Emma Thompson, who stars alongside Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. 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.

Hi everyone, and lovely “lovelies” around the globe……

Looking out of the window here in rainy London, in our ever changing world, reminds us that it’s rare to be confident these days that anything stays constant…

However I am so happy to say, that the family, and the whole team, is so pleased to see how our request to do good deeds in Yogs’ name has continued to grow, and I often hear, and am particularly proud, of the huge amount of good works that you, his devoted fans have achieved, joining together, putting good out there into the world, helping others……whether large amounts of money raised, or small acts of kindness towards a stranger, all of it is positive, and makes us justly proud.

We are all missing him more than ever, but like to think of him, with mum , the love of his life Anselmo, and all of his lovely doggies, seeing all that great work done in his name, and the joy of you all sharing it with each other……whilst playing his music (of course) – and hopefully dancing and singing!!

All Positive & Amazing. (– dah da dah, dah da dah, dadadada dah….)

We were thrilled that this spring many of you got the chance to see and enjoy the stunning “George Michael Art Collection” (– the first ever official sanctioned event) whether in person or online.

Christies experts helped David and our team, create a warm and intelligent viewing, before the auction, and we are pleased you loved the limited chance to view his collection, and what we created, together.

The generosity of the collectors only adds to the good works that can now be continued into the future in his name.

The 2^nd (– and only other officially sanctioned by us this year) Event, will be the “Last Christmas” Movie, out in November, a project Yog was involved with in its’ initial stages, along with the super talented team of Emma Thompson and Greg Wise.

We are excited for you to see it in all its’ ‘’Christmassy Wonderfulness’’

Meanwhile, enjoy the summer – (if and when it arrives in Britain!!)

Take Care,

Melanie, Yioda, Jack & David
