Ed Sheeran is back with his latest collaboration. Sheeran teamed up with Khalid for the track “Beautiful People” which dropped on Friday, June 28. Along with the release of his latest single, Sheeran also dropped the official music video to accompany to track.
“Beautiful People” will be part of Sheeran’s “No. 6 Collaborations” project in the upcoming weeks. The project, which is set to drop this summer on July 12, will feature the likes of Bieber, Chance the Rapper, PnB Rock, and many more.
“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with @chancetherapper and @pnbrock will be out everywhere at the same time,” Sheeran wrote in an Instagram post.
You can check out the official music video and lyrics for the track below.

[Intro: Ed Sheeran]
We are, we are, we are
[Verse 1: Ed Sheeran]
L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
Sundown and they all come out
Lamborghinis and their rented Hummers
The party’s on, so they’re headin’ downtown (‘Round here)
Everybody’s lookin’ for a come up
And they wanna know what you’re about
Me in the middle with the one I love and
We’re just tryna figure everything out
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
We don’t fit in well ’cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin’ out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don’t ask that question here
This is my only fear: that we become
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
“What d’you do?” and “Who d’you know?”
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let’s leave the party
[Post-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (Beautiful)
[Verse 2: Khalid]
L.A., mmm, drove for hours last night and we made it nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)
I see stars in your eyes when we’re halfway there (All night)
I’m not fazed by all them lights and flashin’ cameras
‘Cause with my arms around you, there’s no need to care
[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
We don’t fit in well, we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin’ out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don’t ask that question here
This is my only fear: that we become
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
“What d’you do?” and “Who d’you know?”
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let’s leave the party
[Post-Chorus: Ed Sheeran, Both, Khalid]
That’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful, yeah
Yeah, that’s not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (Beautiful)
[Outro: Ed Sheeran]
We are, we are, we are
We are not beautiful
