London: British pop star Ed Sheeran released a surprise track titled “Afterglow” ahead of Christmas, which was shared on Instagram on Monday.
The song is the “Shape of You” singer first single in more than a year.
“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 I love, and hope you love too. Enjoy !”
“Have a safe and happy festive break and New Year’s. Back to dad land for me now, ciao x,” Sheeran wrote alongside the performance video of the song.
“Afterglow” is Ed Sheeran’s first release since his “No.6 Collaborations Project” that released last year.
The 29-year-old has penned the latest track with David Hodges and Fred Gibson.
Ed Sheeran has been off the radar since September after the birth of his daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran with wife Cherry Seaborn.
