Ed Sheeran is a British singer-songwriter who’s hugely popular in Japan as well.

I think just about every young person knows him.

When you think of Ed Sheeran, many people probably imagine “Shape of You.” He also excels at ballads and has released quite a few over the years.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “One Life.” It’s a pop ballad where a delay-tinged beat and acoustic sound blend together beautifully.

While candidly singing about anxiety and discomfort in social situations, this contemporary track portrays the feeling that all of that fades away when you’re with the one you love.

Created by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, the song was released in May 2019 as the lead single from the collaborative album No.6 Collaborations Project, setting a record with 16.24 million streams on Spotify on its first day.

Seamlessly blending elements of electropop and dancehall, its sound lightly captures both the introverted emotions many people experience and the sense of liberation that comes with love.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who finds parties and crowds challenging, yet feels the world transform when that special person is by their side.
