Ed Sheeran is back in action, and this time he has something exciting to unveil. The Grammy-winning artist has just teased his upcoming single, ‘Azizam,’ heralding a new chapter as he prepares to release his eighth studio album.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Sheeran posted a video of himself dancing to the track with producer Ilya Salmanzadeh. His caption, “Album done. Single soon,” sent fans into a frenzy of anticipation.

While he hasn’t revealed an exact release date, his enthusiasm in the video speaks volumes—this is a project he’s genuinely excited about.

“I’m very excited as you can tell,” Sheeran said, beaming with his trademark smile. And we share that excitement!

What’s the scoop on ‘Azizam’?

In contrast to his previous releases, ‘Azizam’ introduces a captivating new direction—featuring a dance-focused beat infused with Persian influences. The title, ‘Azizam,’ is a Persian term of affection meaning “my dear,” suggesting that this track may carry a personal resonance.

While Sheeran has explored various genres throughout his career, from pop to folk and R&B, this marks his first foray into Persian-inspired sounds. Whether this is a unique experiment or a hint at the overall tone of his forthcoming album, fans are undoubtedly intrigued.

It’s been a while since Sheeran released a full album. His last major projects, ‘Autumn Variations’ and ‘Subtract,’ came out in 2023. Prior to that, he focused on his iconic mathematics-themed series for over a decade, which included albums like ‘Plus,’ ‘Multiply,’ ‘Divide,’ and ‘Equals.’

Now, with ‘Azizam’ on the horizon, it seems Sheeran is ready for a fresh start.

Where has Ed been recently?

Besides working on new music, Sheeran has been busy with his ongoing Mathematics Tour, which has taken him around the globe. In recent months, he has performed in India, Bhutan, and China, providing international fans with unforgettable experiences.

Coming up next? He’s set to perform in Qatar on April 30, before continuing his journey across Europe. The tour concludes in Düsseldorf on September 7, 2025—marking a significant milestone for the artist after years of touring.

When Sheeran announced the final leg of his tour, he left fans with a mysterious message: “It was time to Stop. But then we can press Play.”

With new music on the way, it looks like the time to press play again has arrived. With ‘Azizam’ about to drop and an entire album in the pipeline, Sheeran is poised to take the charts by storm once more.

So, Ed, we’re ready when you are!
