Indian fans were quick to notice the Punjabi lyrics "Cham cham chamke sitaare wargi" in the song and flooded the comment section in no time.
One fan commented, "Cham Cham chamke SITARE VARGEE!!!" while another wrote, "Someone please give him an Aadhaar card already." A third user added, "This is gonna be THE SONG of the year."
Sheeran had been teasing the song for a while now. Earlier this month, he revealed on Instagram that his upcoming album Play was inspired by his emotional journey and his love for exploring cultures. He wrote, "Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that, I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring."
