A few weeks ago, Diplo teased that his group would be collaborating with the ‘Castle on the Hill’ singer when he sent out the following tweet:

 

 

This isn’t the first time that Ed and Major Lazer have teamed up. Ed co-wrote ‘Cold Water’, Major Lazer’s collaboration with Justin Bieber and MØ.

 

 

Major Lazer will release their album Music is the Weapon later this year and according to Diplo, expect a lot of really cool features,

“Definitely we have Usher on it, MØ’s back on songs, we have a song with Sam Hunt which is very unusual but I love him. Travi$ Scott…Sia is on a couple ideas but one of the records might be her record. She’s definitely background vocals on a song for sure.”

Also, expect them to reunite with Justin Bieber again,

“You know, I’ve been writing with him [Bieber] for a long time and we did some cool material together – we did a new song for our project.”

‘Shape of You’ will appear on Ed’s forthcoming album Divide which will drop on March 3rd.
