The singer released a new song on Monday, “Afterglow”. It is his first new music since receiving his first child in August.
In it he sings: “We were drunk lovers, waiting for a miracle / Trying to find ourselves in the snow of winter / So, alone in love, as if the world had disappeared.”
Sheeran shared the song on Instagram with an accompanying video, “Hey guys. Afterglow is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you. It’s not the first single from the next album, it’s just a song that I love and hope to love you too. Enjoy! Have a safe and happy New Year’s holiday break. Back to my dad for me now, hello x “
