Ed Sheeran released the music video for “Castle on the hill” last week and now there is a visual for “Shape of you” too.
Directed by Jason Koenig, the man behind Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video for “Downtown”, and filmed in Settle, the clip sees Sheeran and a woman, played by Jennie Pegouskie (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), training for a boxing match and heading out on a date together.
The British singer showed off his newly slimmed-down figure.
In a recent interview, he talked about his amazing weight loss journey over the past year. “I doubled in size. Sweatpants were the only things that fit, and I thought everything had shrunk in the wash, but it hadn’t” he explained. “It was the beer. Well, I’m back on beer now, because I’m fine, but I cut out beer for a bit and started exercising, which was quite weird. I didn’t realize how much I burned on stage. I stopped touring, and I just ballooned instantly.”
Sheeran is set to perform on the upcoming Feb. 11 episode of Saturday Night Live, marking his first U.S. television appearance since the 58th Grammy Awards ceremony in February 2016.
Lyrics:
The club isn’t the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots drinking fast and then we talk slow
you come over and start up a conversation with just me and trust me I’ll give it a chance now
Take my hand stop, put van the man on the jukebox and then we start to dance
And now I’m singing like
Girl you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now follow my lead
I may be crazy don’t mind me
Say boy let’s not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now follow my lead
Come come on now follow my lead
I’m in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I’m in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I’m in love with your body
Oh I X 4
I’m in love with your body
Oh I X 4
I’m in love with your body
Oh I X 4
I’m in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I’m in love with the shape of you
One week in we let the story begin
We’re going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty
So go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family’s doing ok
leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play
and I’m singing like
Girl you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now follow my lead
I may be crazy, don’t mind me
Say boy let’s not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now follow my lead
Come come on now follow my lead
I’m in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I’m in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Well I’m in love with your body
Oh I x 4
I’m in love with your body
Oh I x 4
I’m in love with your body
Oh I X 4
I’m in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I’m in love with the shape of you
Come on be my baby come on X 8
I’m in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I’m in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
Well I’m in love with your body
Come on be my baby come on X 6
Every day discovering something brand new
I’m in love with the shape of you
