Ed Sheeran's Picked His Next Single From 'Divide' & You Can Watch The Lyric Video Now

Ed Sheeran has revealed the next single from his record breaking third studio album ÷, and it's the weepy we've been waiting for - it's 'Perfect'.

Earlier this year Ed told us "The first song I finished for the album was a song called ‘Perfect’ and that I think is my best song that I’ve written so it was off to a good start," so it's come as no surprise he's released it as his next single.

To mark the occasion today he also dropped an accompanying lyric video, like we didn't already know all the words. But if you didn't, get learning here:

All eyes will be on the official music video when it drops. The last time Ed dropped a ballad he gave us the incredible 'Thinking Out Loud,' showing off his newly-acquired ballroom dancing skills, so we can't wait to see what he pulls out of the bag this time.

'Perfect' follows 'Galway Girl', 'Castle On The Hill' and 'Shape Of You' as official singles from Divide, which is the UK's most-streamed and biggest-selling album of the year so far.

Meanwhile, in other Ed Sheeran news, the singer recently took home the Artist Of The Year Moonperson at this year's MTV VMAs, where he performed alongside Lil Uzi Vert for a blazing performance of 'Shape Of You' and 'XO Tour Llif3.'
