Last Christmas

Last Christmas by Wham! is featured in A Very Glee Christmas, the tenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Finn, Mercedes (Album version only), and Rachel, with backup from the New Directions (Album version only).

Because of Rachel's failed attempt to get Finn to forgive her, she sings this song to win him back. They sang this together while shopping for a Christmas tree for the New Directions (seeing as Sue destroyed the other one) after Rachel says that it's her favorite Christmas song. However, Finn turns her down and leaves before they can get a tree.

The cast of Glee recorded an exclusive cover of the song that was released on November 23, 2009, and was re-released in 2010 on Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album.

Mercedes, along with New Directions, sings background vocals on the album version.

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Mercedes: Gave you my heart)
But the very next day you gave it away (Gave it away)
This year (Mercedes: This year)
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

Rachel:
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me? (Finn: Ooh)
Well, it's been a year

Finn and Rachel:
It doesn't surprise me (Mercedes: Yeah)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

Rachel (Finn):
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on (Someone to rely on)
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
