With the three year anniversary of his death approaching, we just got brand new George Michael music.

A new Michael single, "This Is How (We Want You To Get High)," was posthumously released Wednesday after originally being written in 2012, with finishing touches put on it in 2015 during Michael's final recording sessions, Rolling Stone reports. It's the first new original Michael music in seven years, Rolling Stone notes, although in 2017, a new version of his song "Fantasy" also got a posthumous release.
