Ed Sheeran offered a “rundown” of each revamped Play track on a collection of remixes that arrived on Friday (October 17).

The global pop megastar said as the 4-track EP arrived that “making and finishing Play in India was such a fun experience, but being there over the last decade touring and meeting local artists, I’ve been introduced to all types of music and cultures.” Sheeran said he aimed to “represent as much as I could,” on the Play (The Remixes) EP. The project includes new, collaborative versions of “Symmetry” with Karan Aujla, “Don’t Look Down” with Hanumankind, Dhee and Santhosh Narayanan, “Sapphire” with Arijit Singh, and “Heaven” with Jonita. Sheeran shared on Instagram:

“Symmetry”

“Karan is culture, and I love the movement he’s making with Ikky at the moment. It’s been so cool watching the thing he’s built, and becoming a part of that world and journey. He taught me the punjabi bits on this song in the studio, and we got to shoot an amazing video for it too. I feel like this is the beginning of our collaborative journey, I’m so excited to create more.”

“Don’t Look Down”

“I loooove HMK, and got the opportunity to meet him at Coachella and catch his show. I was obsessed with the energy and feel of it all. We connected then and have been speaking since about working together, then this came up. Santhosh is one of the greatest film composers, and also introduced me to Dhee who is such an amazing talent and voice. I wanted to represent south india on this EP and the beautiful Tamil language, and they have done such an amazing job fusing all of this together.”

“Sapphire”

“Everyone already knows the story to this, but going to Jiaganj with my dad to create this with Arijit is one of my favourite memories in my musical career.”

“Heaven”

“I met Jonita 2024 when I played my big show in Mumbai, and got to then do some shows with her the following year when I came back for tour. In short, I’m a fan. I love her voice, the tone, the softness. This was the perfect tune for us to do together, and is also the first Hindi song I have released. Its an honour to do it with her, what a talent.”

Sheran said he’s “loved this collaboration process so much, I hope you enjoy it, and hopefully discover new things. Loads of love.” Find the Play EP on iHeartRadio here.
