1) Billie Paul… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists using the name Billie:
1) Billie Paul Piper (born Leanne Paul Piper on 22 September 1982) Billie Piper is an English actress. She began her career as a pop singer in her teens, but is now best known for portraying Rose Tyler, companion to the Doctor in the television series Doctor Who until mid 2008. Her role in Doctor Who has made her a household name in the United Kingdom.
Piper's first break in the entertainment world came as a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy & Co. Piper later landed a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits. Her role was to run up to the camera, blow a bubblegum bubble and shout "Pop!" Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to debut at number one in the UK singles chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie". Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also debuted at Number One, and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) debuted at Number 14 in the UK album charts. She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the Bee"; both songs debuted at Number 3.
Piper then took a year off to record her second album. She decided to release further records under her full name, Billie Piper. She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound. She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success wasn't to continue. She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside". That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart. The song "Walk of Life", the final single off this album, was released in December 2000 and reached Number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. This proved to be Piper's last musical release, a low-key exit from the world of pop.
In 1999, Piper was nominated for two Brit Awards and was named Best Female Star at the Smash Hits Poll Winners' party, although at the latter ceremony she was reduced to tears after being viciously booed by jealous fans of Ritchie Neville, member of boyband Five, whom she was dating at the time.
2) Billie is a french singer from Lyon. She recorded her first album "Le baiser" in 2014.
Last Christmas
Billie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But just don't catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognise me?
Well its been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you" - I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'll fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room - Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me - I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
Face on her lover
With a fire in her heart
A girl undercover.....she tore me apart Ohhh
Now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Fade)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
In "Last Christmas," Billie reflects on a past Christmas when she gave her heart to someone who didn't appreciate it. However, she has learned from this experience, and this year she is going to give her heart to someone special who will value it. The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of giving and receiving love during the holidays.
The first verse describes the situation where the singer gave their heart to their love interest, but the next day, the love interest broke their heart. The singer is hurt and acknowledges that they are once bitten and twice shy, meaning they are reluctant to trust again. The verse ends with the assertion that they will give their heart to someone special to protect themselves from future heartbreak.
The second verse talks about how the singer has tried to keep their distance from the love interest but asks if the love interest recognizes them. They acknowledge that it has been a year since they last saw each other, but that doesn't surprise them. The singer then relates how they sent a gift to the love interest last year, confessing their love for them, but now they see that it was foolish of them. They are aware that they will be easily fooled again if the love interest were to kiss them now.
Overall, "Last Christmas" is a melancholic song about heartbreak and recognizing the value of true love. It shows how Christmas can bring back memories, both good and bad, and that it's important to appreciate those who truly love and care for us.
Line by Line Meaning
Last Christmas
The past holiday season
I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and trust
But the very next day you gave it away
But you betrayed me and gave it to someone else soon after
This year, to save me from tears
To avoid feeling sad and hurt
I'll give it to someone special
I'll give my love to someone who deserves it
Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt in the past, I'm now cautious and wary
I keep my distance
I try to avoid being vulnerable with you again
But just don't catch my eye
But I don't want you to notice me
Tell me baby
I want to know
Do you recognise me?
Do you remember me and what you did?
Well its been a year
It's been a while since we last saw each other
It doesn't surprise me
Your actions were expected
I wrapped it up and sent it
I gift-wrapped my love for you and sent it to you
With a note saying "I love you" - I meant it
I included a heartfelt message expressing my love for you
Now I know what a fool I've been
I realize how foolish I was to trust you and give you my love
But if you kissed me now
If you try to reconcile with me
I know you'll fool me again
I know you'll just hurt me again
A crowded room - Friends with tired eyes
I'm surrounded by people, but feel alone and exhausted
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I'm avoiding you, and your cold-heartedness
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
I used to trust and depend on you
Me - I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
But now I realize you only used me as a source of comfort
Face on her lover
Seeing your new partner
With a fire in her heart
Passionately in love
A girl undercover.....she tore me apart Ohhh
She was a secret to me and she broke my heart
Now I've found a real love
But now I have found someone who truly loves and respects me
You'll never fool me again
I won't let someone hurt me like you did again

I won't lie I hear all these other singers like Ariana grande and Carly Rae remaking this song but I have to say this is still the best remake by far.
Erica Griffin
She has such a light voice. I actually like it. It's quite different than a lot of pop "belting".
Kingtown
This is the best cover version. She's talented.
Josh Freilich
I heard this version of the song played in the Atlantis Resort when I was in the Bahamas. They played this all the time, and I thought, who did that AWESOME cover? Well, now, this finally answers my question. She has a great voice.
