Ed Sheeran is gearing up for a major return to the pop scene in 2025 with a highly anticipated album that promises to bring the “big pop” sound fans have been craving. Following a quieter 2024, the global superstar shared exciting details about his upcoming project, which is already complete and set for release in the new year.
Sheeran confirmed that the album is finished, and he’s already filmed two music videos for its release, with plans to shoot two more in early 2025. This marks the start of a new era for the singer-songwriter, who teased that the album will be a shift back to his pop roots, an exciting change after a more folk-influenced year.
While 2024 saw Sheeran release just one single, his two 2023 albums—Autumn Variations and Subtract—showcased a more stripped-back, introspective sound. Despite the critical success of Autumn Variations, which topped the UK Albums Chart, it was clear that fans are eager for Sheeran to return to the high-energy, chart-topping pop hits that made him a household name.
With his 2017 album Divide and its record-breaking hit “Shape of You,” Sheeran became one of the biggest names in pop. His 14 UK Number 1 singles place him among the all-time greats, tied with Westlife and Cliff Richard, and just behind The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
In the meantime, Sheeran is keeping busy this holiday season, vying for this year’s coveted Christmas Number 1 with his new song “Under the Tree,” written for the Netflix animated film That Christmas. The emotional track captures the bittersweet realities of the holiday season, and it could mark another festive hit for the singer.
Ed’s 2021 holiday collaboration with Elton John, “Merry Christmas,” has also re-entered the Official Singles Chart Top 10, adding to his seasonal success. As we await more details about his upcoming album, one thing is clear: 2025 is set to be a major year for Ed Sheeran and his fans.
