British superstar Ed Sheeran has thrilled fans with the release of a new video that showcases his fondness for Punjabi music and Indian culture.

In the clip shared on Instagram, Ed is seen cruising through the lively streets of Mumbai in an auto rickshaw, singing along to his upcoming track, Sapphire. What instantly grabbed viewers’ attention were the catchy Punjabi lyrics woven into the song, blending vibrant Indian influences with Sheeran’s signature style.

The video captures the singer’s joyful interaction with locals—waving, smiling, and exchanging high-fives—offering a heartfelt glimpse into his connection with the city and its people.

Accompanying the video, Ed wrote: “Riding around the streets of India, missing high-fives. Sapphire out June 5th, 8:30am ET / 1:30pm BST / 6pm IST.”

Fans have been eagerly anticipating Sapphire, as Sheeran has been teasing the track for weeks. Earlier this month, he opened up on Instagram about his upcoming album Play, revealing it was deeply inspired by a challenging emotional period and his passion for discovering diverse cultures during his world tours.

He shared, “Play was an album made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of that, I wanted to create joy and technicolor, while celebrating the cultures I experienced on the road.”

With Sapphire set to drop on June 5, listeners can look forward to a colorful fusion of Ed Sheeran’s musical creativity and his appreciation for Punjabi rhythms.
