Ed Sheeran’s “Azizam” Is Here and Honestly, We’re Swooning in 12 Languages

Buy Me A Coffee

Ed Sheeran just slid into a new musical era smoother than your ex sliding into your DMs at 2 a.m.

Ed Sheeran’s “Azizam” Is Here and Honestly, We’re Swooning in 12 Languages
Our favorite ginger troubadour, Ed Sheeran, just dropped a new track called “Azizam,” which is basically the sonic equivalent of a warm hug, a soft sunset, and a cup of Persian chai brewed by someone who loves you. 🫶

So what is “Azizam”? Glad you asked, nosy! It’s a Persian term of endearment that means “my dear” or “my beloved.” In other words, it’s what you’d call your boo if you’re trying to impress them and their Persian grandma at the same time.

Ed Sheeran: World Traveler, Cultural Sponge, And Certified Sweetheart
According to an Instagram post that radiated wholesome vibes and a subtle “I have passport stamps AND feelings” energy, Ed said he cooked up “Azizam” after chatting with producer Ilya Salmanzadeh. Ilya was like, “Hey, what if we spiced things up with a little Persian flavor?” And Ed said, “Bet.”

Cue Ed going full musical anthropologist. He described the process like discovering a magical Narnia of sound—where Persian instruments flirt with Irish pub tunes and everyone’s invited to the jam session. He gushed about how the rhythms and melodies reminded him of his Irish roots, just with more oud and fewer Guinness-fueled bar fights.

“It was like opening a door to a completely new and exciting world,” Ed wrote. Translation: He was vibing HARD.

He called the album playful, explorative, and celebratory—which is also how I describe my weekend plans and every attempt I make at baking.

Lyric Check: Romance Mode Activated
In “Azizam,” Ed whispers sweet nothings like:

“Azizam / Meet me on the floor tonight / Show me how to move like the water / In between the dancin’ lights / Be mine, be mine, azizam.”

Phew. Sir. Calm down. People have heart conditions.

If this track doesn’t make you want to slow dance barefoot on a mosaic tile floor under fairy lights, are you even alive?

The Verdict: We Are Soft, Swaying, and Slightly Obsessed
Between the dreamy lyrics, the cultural fusion, and Ed’s ever-adorable “I’m a global citizen now” energy, “Azizam” is a certified banger for your feelings playlist.

Also, he dropped the music video, so go watch that before your soulmate walks right past you because you weren’t in the right romantic mindset. Don’t let Ed down. Don’t let love down.
