The track blends Sheeran’s vocals and acoustic guitar stylings with Garrix’s ear for dance-pop hooks and production, while also adding some orchestral flourishes. Listen to the song below.
In a statement, Garrix said: “To be announcing and releasing this single around my 30th birthday feels incredibly special; honestly the best gift I could’ve wished for. We actually started this song 12 years ago in Nashville, and for the longest time I genuinely thought it would never be an official release. To finally be here now feels really surreal, and I couldn’t be more excited for people to hear the new version.
“Working with Ed has been so much fun. He’s an incredible human, artist, but also one of my dear friends from the industry. We’ve shared so many cool memories over the years. I’m really proud that we finally get to release this together; this song means a lot to both of us!”
Sheeran added: “Me and Martin made ‘Repeat It’ 12 years ago after we made friends on a night out in Amsterdam. He turns 30 today, and is putting out his debut album this year, so it seemed like a better time than any to finally do it. I’d say every day fans leave comments under my posts asking where it is, so this one is for you guys. Happy Birthday Martin, and happy ‘Repeat It’ day for everyone else.”
