In the video, Sheeran belts out a line that goes, “Cham cham chamke sitaare wargi,” and fans lost it. The comments section exploded with love, laughter, and a little desi pride.
“Cham Cham chamke SITARE VARGEE!!!” one user exclaimed. Another joked, “Someone please give him an Aadhaar card already,” while a third called it, “THE SONG of the year.”
Alongside the video, Sheeran captioned it: “Riding around the streets of India, missing high-fives. Sapphire out June 5th, 8:30am ET / 1:30pm BST / 6pm IST.”
The short clip captures the singer soaking in the chaos and charm of Mumbai like a true local—auto ride and all.
Sheeran has been building anticipation for ‘Sapphire’ for a while now. The track will be part of his upcoming album ‘Play’, which he recently described as a celebration of joy, colour, and cultural connection.
He shared that the album emerged after a dark period in his life, and this project is all about healing and embracing life with open arms.
“Coming out of all of that, I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring,” he posted earlier this month.
