Ed Sheeran<\/a> and Khalid<\/a> have teamed up for new song \u201cBeautiful People.\u201d The song will appear on Sheeran\u2019s forthcoming No.6 Collaborations Project<\/em>, which will be released on July 12th.<\/p>\n

The tune is about remaining true to yourself and not trying to become one of those so-called \u201cbeautiful people\u201d obsessed with material things and stature. It opens with pretty vocal harmonies: \u201cWe are, we are, we are\u201d floats over a winsome melody and handclap-enhanced rhythms. Sheeran and Khalid each sing a verse about uncomfortable social situations, where a person can feel \u201csurrounded but still alone.\u201d \u201cWe don\u2019t fit in well\/We are just ourselves,\u201d each of them soulfully sing. \u201cI could use some help getting out of this conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the singer-songwriter has done preceding the release of his previous No.6<\/em> singles, Sheeran began to tease the latest track via social media. In one clip, he played a snippet of the tune on vinyl. He also teased the video<\/a> with a short clip that features a couple waiting in line at passport control before they are directed outside. Sheeran unveiled that the visual would drop two hours after the song\u2019s midnight release.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeautiful People\u201d follows the previously released No.6<\/em> cuts \u201cI Don\u2019t Care<\/a>\u201d featuring Justin Bieber, which Sheeran also re-recorded for an acoustic version<\/a>, and \u201cCross Me<\/a>\u201d with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock. The 15-song set features 22 guests in all, with several multi-artist team-ups, including Eminem and 50 Cent, Cardi B and Camila Cabello, and Bruno Mars with Chis Stapleton.<\/p>\n
