Ed Sheeran is teasing his return to music with a snippet of his upcoming single Azizam.
The song, which features a faster-paced dance beat with Persian influences, will be the lead single off his eighth album.
Sheeran shared a video on Instagram, dancing to the song alongside producer Ilya Salmanzadeh, with the caption: Album done. Single soon.
He expressed his excitement, saying: "I'm very excited as you can tell."
The title Azizamis a Persian term of endearment, meaning "my dear". This will be Sheeran's first album since 2023's Autumn Variations, which reached No. 4 on Billboard's 200 Albums chart.
The Perfect crooner is currently on his Mathematics Tour, which will conclude in September after a final leg through Europe. He announced the final shows last summer, saying: "It was time to Stop... But then we can press Play."
With Azizamon the horizon, fans can expect new music from Sheeran soon, although no official release date has been announced.
