Ed Sheeran revealed the lyrics of his new song, titled Old Phone, which will be released on May 1. The singer posted a video on his Instagram on April 30 singing,

"I found my old phone today, In a box that I had hidden away, Nostalgia trying to lead me astray, Maybe I'll unwrite some wrongs. I charge the battery again, combinations because my passcode has changed, opened up and saw familiar names, now I've wonder where they've gone."

The singer also shared a brief explanation in the caption about how he came up with the song.

"I wrote Old Phone whilst in India finishing my album. It came by accident, because I was jet lagged and woke up at 2am. Everyone else was asleep, so I thought ‘might as well write a song’ and this was the first idea in my notes. Here’s me singing it on the beach in India shortly after writing it."

He further encouraged his fans to use the audio by adding,

"Go find your old phone and do a dump of the photos with the Old Phone sound attached, I wanna see pure nostalgia, tag me so I can see it x"

Before uploading the lyrical reel, Ed also uploaded a post featuring all the photos acquired from his old phone. The singer also explained the story behind the photos along with announcing the release date. As per the singer, he wrote it during his India visit, which took place in January.

Ed Sheeran's India tour ran from January 30 to February 15 and covered six cities. Called the Mathematics Tour, it featured some of his most loved songs from the albums Plus, Multiply, Divide, Equals, and Subtract.
