This context of function at top level vs function defined within an object

In the following code example:

'use strict';
function hello(name) {
    console.log(this); 
}
hello('Annie');
// undefined

let o = {
    hello() {console.log(this);}
}
o.hello('Annie');

Why does a function have no this context when it's placed by itself, but it does when it is placed within an object?
