Play is Ed Sheeran’s eighth studio album, set to drop on September 12, 2025. He’s pivoting back to a “big pop” style after his folk‑leaning acoustic projects, leaning into upbeat, cross‑cultural vibes. He’s already shared the singles “Azizam,” “Old Phone,” and “Sapphire,” which hint at diverse influences—from Persian melodies to nostalgic lyricism—and suggest a celebratory, boundary‑pushing direction
The full album clocks in at 13 tracks (plus a couple of deluxe bonuses) and features a mix of familiar collaborators like Ilya, Johnny McDaid, and Savan Kotecha. It’s described as joyful, experimental, even therapeutic—Ed recorded bits around the world, including in Goa—reflecting his growth as a dad, a husband, and a songwriter coming out of a dark period
Fans can expect play‑button symbolism to extend beyond the music—pop‑up events, playful visuals, and a sense that this is Ed on a fresh, forward‑looking journey.
