Meanwhile, Ed is basking in the success of his latest song, Sapphire, which he made in collaboration with Arijit Singh. Sharing what went on behind the track, Sheeran, in an Instagram post, wrote, " Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading. It's why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India. It was an incredible creative process. I shot the music video with @liampethickphoto and @nicminns across my India tour earlier this year, we wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture."
