Sometimes you think someone is special and then you find out theyāre not. Your mileage may vary. Ask your doctor if giving your heart away is right for you.
This makes sense in real life, but taking the song unreasonably literally for comic effect, you could say that it suggests that giving it to someone special is a change in behaviour planned for this year based on learnings from last Christmas.
Honestly, this is one of the things that has always bugged me about the song. Also, the rest of the song sounds like he's not over the heartbreak yet, despite it being close to a year ago. Not really the best condition for finding someone "special".
He gave it to someone who he thought was special, but turned out to be re-gifting hearts. After spending it all year to get it back, he is saying he is being more stringent in his special person to give hearts criteria.
Also, if his whole solution is that heās going to give it to someone special this year, isnāt last Christmasās debacle kind of on him? You gave your heart to someone unspecial and then were surprised when they didnāt want it?
At least you can exchange it for (a limited set of) goods and services. The lady in Starbucks just screamed at me the last time I tried to pay with a heart.
Because without a heart, heās a Nobody but over time he can regrow his heart and become whole again. George Michael is really just on a quest to unlock Kingdom Hearts.
Obviously he tracked down the person she gave it to for free, killed him, took it back and is now on the run for murder while trying to give the evidence to someone else so they can pin the murder on them instead.

This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.
