While on the latest episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Morissette performed the cover – which she also recorded for her latest Christmas EP, ‘Last Christmas’. The EP arrived in November and includes covers of John Lennon‘s ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ and other festive classics like ‘Little Drummer Boy’.
Watch Alanis Morissette’s cover of Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ below.
Elsewhere during her chat with Fallon, Morissette spoke of her 2022 induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, where Olivia Rodrigo delivered her induction speech. During the speech, Rodrigo credited Morissette for changing the way people think about songwriting.
Morissette said to Fallon: “In some ways, I feel like I gave permission inadvertently. I was writing in a vacuum as one does when they’re writing alone or collaborating. I remember Glen Ballard turning to me and said ‘Do you know what’s going on here?’ and I said ‘no’. So I was pretty clueless about the wildness that was to come.”
She also spoke of her upcoming Triple Moon tour with Joan Jett, who she says she’s a big fan of. “She’s the greatest. I’m terrified because there might actually be a connection and a friendship. I’m looking forward to kumbaya.”
The Triple Moon tour will run from June till November 2024 – grab your tickets here.
