After giving a hint about new music, singer Ed Sheeran has now unveiled a track titled Afterglow.

Over the weekend, Sheeran hinted that he would have something for his fans soon.

On Monday, he shared the new track on Instagram, and wrote: "Hey guys. Afterglow is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you. It's not the first single from the next album, it's just a song I love, and hope you love too. Enjoy!"

"Have a safe and happy festive break and New Year's," he added. "Back to dad land for me now, ciao x," he concluded.

Sheeran and wife Cherry Seaborn welcomed their first child in August.

Last year, he had announced that he would be stepping back from performing in order to focus on his family life.
