Sheeran had been teasing the song for a while now. Earlier this month, he revealed on Instagram that his upcoming album Play was inspired by his emotional journey and his love for exploring cultures.
He wrote, "Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that, I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring."

Indian actor Unni Mukundan says he didn't assault former manager
Actor Unni Mukundan has broken his silence over the recent allegations of assault levelled against him by his former manager, Vipin Kumar. In a press conference held in Kochi, Mukundan clarified that there was no physical assault and that the dispute had been misrepresented. "As a friend, I only wanted to confront Vipin about why he was speaking negatively about me. During the heated exchange, I did throw his sunglasses -- that is true," the 'Marco' star said. "But there was no physical contact." Mukundan also said that Kumar, who managed the actor's career for six years, is already facing multiple complaints from within the film industry. "There are cases against Vipin in FEFKA. More than one actress has approached film organisations with complaints about him," he said, adding that Vipin is not a registered member of the Film Employees Federation of Kerala. The controversy erupted following a first information report filed by Kumar on May 26, accusing Mukundan of physical assault and issuing threats during a confrontation at the basement parking of Mukundan's apartment complex in Kochi. "He called me for a meeting. When I arrived, he shouted at me, punched and hit me. Another person had to step in to stop him," Kumar told reporters. Kumar claimed that the incident may have been fueled by Mukundan's disappointment over the lukewarm industry response to his recent film Marco. "After the movie's release, he was disheartened that top directors weren't reaching out. He vented that frustration on me," Kumar alleged. In response, Mukundan has filed a counter-complaint with the Kerala Director General of Police (DGP), stating that he has been targeted unfairly and maliciously. "Two weeks ago, I received a call from an unknown number. The caller named several people, including Vipin. That was when I realised something was wrong," the actor said. The actor also addressed a broader pattern of controversies surrounding his career. He also hinted that there might be a larger network behind the current controversy. Reaffirming his respect for his colleagues, Mukundan said he maintains a strong relationship with fellow actor Tovino Thomas, despite rumours. "I have never said anything about Tovino. We are very close friends," he clarified. Mukundan expressed his deep gratitude to the people of Kerala for supporting his journey in cinema and added, "I've worked hard to bring out my films. I will continue to do so with honesty." The incident comes just months after Unni Mukundan stepped down from his role as Treasurer of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) in January this year, citing mental health and professional strain. His resignation occurred shortly after AMMA's executive committee, including President Mohanlal, tendered their resignations in the wake of the Justice K. Hema Committee Report, which exposed widespread challenges faced by women in the Malayalam film industry.

Selena Gomez lauds Taylor Swift after she buys back her catalogue
Singer-actress Selena Gomez has come out in support of pop sensation Taylor Swift after the latter bought back her music following Scooter Braun drama. On Friday, May 30, the 'Only Murders in the Building' actress, 32, cheered on her fellow singer, 35, after it was revealed that Swift finally owns her masters, reports 'People' magazine. 'Yes you did that Tay', Selena Gomez wrote on her Instagram Story using all caps, adding, 'So proud!' As per 'People', earlier in the day, Swift confirmed reports that she was once again in control of her music catalog after a public ownership feud involving record executive Scooter Braun. 'You belong with me', she cleverly captioned an Instagram carousel, a nod to her 2008 hit of the same name from her album 'Fearless'. Almost six years ago, her catalog was sold to Braun, who then sold it to private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Swift's upload showed three photos of her sitting on the floor of a portrait studio, wearing a periwinkle top, denim jeans and her signature red lip as she smiled, surrounded by her first six albums. During the years long battle for ownership, the 'Love Story' singer famously re-recorded albums, adding 'Taylor's Version' to the titles. Selena has supported Swift since their friendship began more than a decade ago. The two singers were introduced by the Jonas Brothers in August 2008 and have been besties ever since. 'We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical', Gomez told KISS FM UK in 2017. 'It was amazing, because (Taylor) was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked', the 'Good For You' singer said, before jokingly adding, 'It was the best thing we got out of those relationships'. All parties involved have moved on. Swift has been dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce since October 2023. In December 2024, Benny Blanco and Gomez became engaged. Gomez began her career as a child actress, appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends (2002 — 2004), and emerged as a teen idol for her leading role as Alex Russo on the Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place (2007 — 2012). She signed with Hollywood Records in 2008 and formed the band Selena Gomez & the Scene, which released three successful albums: Kiss & Tell (2009), A Year Without Rain (2010), and When the Sun Goes Down (2011). Gomez has since released three solo studio albums that debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her EDM-infused debut record, Stars Dance (2013), yielded the international top-ten single 'Come & Get It'. She moved to Interscope Records and released the electropop album Revival (2015), supported by the top-ten singles 'Good for You', 'Same Old Love', and 'Hands to Myself'. Its follow-up, the dance-pop-influenced Rare (2020), contained her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single 'Lose You to Love Me'. Agencies
