    Last Christmas Literary Device Last Christmas by the Beatles is a song about heartbreak and regret. I think that Last Christmas is a song that tells us to be careful who we give our love to and only to give it when you are sure you love each other.

Repetition is an important part of any song because it provides rhyme, structure, and is usually the chorus of…
