The multiple award-winning crooner upgraded his looks for the new single as he accompanied the track with stunning visuals. The 30-year-old singer-songwriter channeled his dark side as he hit the streets as a vampire. His spiked hair teamed up with razor-sharp fangs and a colorful outfit soon became the hot gossip on the micro-blogging site. Speaking of new music, Tyler, The Creator dropped his sixth album whereas, Doja Cat too released her third full-length project called ‘Planet Her.’ Saweetie’s debut album called ‘Pretty B*tch Music’ was also about to clash with the aforementioned but she decided to shelve it.

Ed Sheeran reflects on his dark side in ‘Bad Habits’

In his brand new single, as the name suggests, Sheeran reflects on his bad habits including late-night partying, being an alcoholic and how it all affects him despite how good his intentions might be. Sheeran opens the song with the verse, “Every time you come around, you know I can't say no/ Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control/ I can feel the paradise before my world implodes/ And tonight I had something wonderful.”

He then quickly slips into the chorus singing, “My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone/ Conversations with a stranger I barely know/ Swearin' this will be the last but it probably won't/ I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do/ My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space/ And I know I'll lose control of the things that I say/ Yeah, I was lookin' for a way out, now I can't escape/ Nothin' happens aftеr two, it's true, it's true/ My bad habits lead to you.” You can listen to his new release here. If we talk about his last release, ‘Afterglow’, the song was his first single release in more than 18 months and it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart.
