AceShowbiz - Just a week after releasing a music video for "Castle on the Hill", Ed Sheeran debuted a music video for another chart-topping single from his "Divide (Division Sign)" album, "Shape of You". The music video was directed by Jason Koenig, who also directed Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Downtown".
In the video, the English heartthrob turns into a tough wrestler. Sheeran is seen hitting the gym where he eventually meets a tough-but-pretty sparring partner. The two later train together to face an intense fight by flipping a massive tire, attacking a punching bag and sprinting on the streets of Seattle.
But Sheeran's love interest is suddenly missing after leaving a picture of a wrestling ring and a mouthguard in Sheeran's locker. Thinking he will do a wresling fight, Sheeran comes to the arena only to find out that he will fight an unlikely opponent, a sumo fighter. Then the mood turns silly as Sheeran fights in an inflatable sumo costume. Of course he loses the match but his girl comes to save him in the end. She jumps in the air and attempts to kick the sumo wrestler.
"Shape of You" debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It made Sheeran the first artist to debut two singles in the top 10 simultaneously as "Castle on the Hill" debuted at No. 6. Even though "Shape of You" is doing great in the chart, Sheeran didn't intentionally make the song for him. In a statement, the red-haired crooner revealed that he initially wrote the song for Rihanna.
Sheeran will release his new album "Divide (Division Sign)" on March 3 via Atlantic Records. And he is set to perform both of his new singles on February 11 on "Saturday Night Live".
