They created the music video as a fun Christmas break activity, and posted it online to share with their friends and family.

Over the next few years Johnny’s fan base grew, and exploded into massive growth near the end of 2015.

In December of 2016 he released “Day and Night” with Dance Moms star Mackenzie Ziegler, and later “Missing You” in January of 2017, all three singles charting on the iTunes top 100 pop charts. Johnny plans to continue developing his passion for music and exploring the possibilities as a social media and pop culture influencer.
Last Christmas
Johnny Orlando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it′s been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Yea Yea Yea) 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′d 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
Instrumental
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
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
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
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I′ll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
The song Last Christmas by Johnny Orlando is a cover of the original song performed by the legendary 80s pop group, Wham!. The song is a classic Christmas themed ballad, with a heartwarming message of love and longing. The lyrics are centered around a failed relationship, where the singer gave their heart to their loved one on Christmas, only for it to be given away the very next day. This year, the singer is careful not to fall for the same mistake and promises to give their heart to someone special who won't hurt them again.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer reminisces about the past Christmas where they gave their heart to their lover only for it to be thrown away the very next day. This year, the singer is wiser and won't let themselves be vulnerable to such heartbreak again. In the second verse, the singer talks about how despite the heartbreak their lover caused, they are still drawn to them. They wonder if their lover recognizes them, and if they would be fooled again if kissed. The chorus repeats the same message of the singer's promise to give their heart to someone special this year.
The bridge of the song provides insight into the aftermath of the failed relationship. The singer talks about how the lover tore them apart, leaving them to seek solace from friends with tired eyes. They thought their lover was someone reliable, but instead they were left to be a shoulder to cry on. The final verse ties the song together, stating that the singer has found real love and is no longer being fooled by their ex-lover. They look forward to giving their heart to someone special next year.
