VERSE 1:
I found my Bbold phone today
In a box that I had Fhidden away
Nostalgia tryin’ to Ebsus2lead me astray
Maybe I’ll unwrite some BbwronFgs
I charged the Bbbattery again
Combinations ’cause my Fpasscode had changed
Opened up and saw faEbsus2miliar names
Now I wonder where they’ve Bbgone
CHORUS 1:
Conversations with my Gmindead friends
Messages from all my Ebsus2exes
I kinda think that this was Bbbest left
There in the past where it beFlongs
I feel an overwhelming Gminsadness
Of all the friends I do not Ebsus2have left
Seeing how my family has Bbfractured
Growin’ up and movin’ Fon
VERSE 2:
I found my Bbold phone today
Arguments that I try Fto keep at bay
The ones who love me I just Ebsus2push them away
Couldn’t tell the difference from the BbleechFes
My closed hand still Bbholds some mates
But if I’m open it Fgets smaller day by day
I can’t tell if it is Ebsus2pleasure or pain
Tryin’ to keep within my BbremFain

“Old Phone” History:
Ed Sheeran’s latest single, “Old Phone,” released on May 1, 2025, is a poignant reflection on memory, loss, and personal growth. The song was inspired by Sheeran’s experience of turning on a mobile phone he hadn’t used since 2015, which he had to retrieve for a legal matter. Upon powering it up, he discovered messages from a deceased friend, an ex-girlfriend, and a long-estranged family member. This emotional journey led him to write “Old Phone” during a late-night session in India while finishing his upcoming album, *Play* .([LOS40][1])
Musically, “Old Phone” is a stripped-down, acoustic ballad co-produced by Sheeran, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Blake Slatkin. The minimalist arrangement—featuring soft guitar, subtle ambient textures, and Sheeran’s intimate vocals—amplifies the song’s introspective tone. The lyrics delve into themes of nostalgia and the passage of time, as Sheeran revisits old conversations and reflects on relationships that have changed or ended .([Wikipedia][2], [Atwood Magazine][3])
Accompanying the release is a lyric video showcasing personal photos from Sheeran’s past, including moments with friends and fellow artists like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles. This visual element reinforces the song’s themes of reminiscence and emotional connection .([LOS40][1])
“Old Phone” is the second single from Sheeran’s forthcoming album, *Play*, set to release on September 12, 2025. The album represents a creative shift for Sheeran, moving away from his previous “Mathematics” series to explore new emotional and musical landscapes .([Atwood Magazine][3])
