Ed Sheeran has made headlines once again with the launch of his latest single, "Azizam," on April 4. This vibrant, pop-driven track signifies the start of a new chapter for the artist, paving the way for his forthcoming eighth studio album. While the catchy melody is sure to linger in your mind, the title of the single invites curiosity. What does "Azizam" mean?

What is the meaning of Azizam?

The term "Azizam," pronounced ah-zee-zam, is rooted in the word "Aziz," which translates to "beloved" or "dear," combined with the possessive suffix "am." Originating from a Persian dialect, it essentially means "my beloved" or "my dear."

This Persian influence can be attributed to the song's producer, ILYA (Ilya Salmanzadeh), a prominent figure in the music industry. He is part of Max Martin's WolfCousins team and has collaborated with renowned artists such as Ariana Grande ("Into You"), Ellie Goulding ("Love Me Like You Do"), and Sam Smith ("Unholy"), as noted by Official Charts.

Sheeran mentioned on Instagram that the song was inspired by ILYA's suggestion to create music reflecting his Persian heritage and culture. "Azizam" was released alongside a lively "Pink Heart" video, showcasing clips filmed throughout the United States during his promotional tour this month. In a teaser posted on Instagram, he hinted at an official music video to come, although no release date has been provided, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

About Ed Sheeran’s eighth studio album, Play

Regarding Ed Sheeran's eighth studio album, titled "Play," he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March, where he disclosed that this album is part of his vision for ten albums. He explained, "When I was about 18, I conceived the idea of ten albums, which include Plus, Multiply, Divide, Subtract, Equals, and then Play, Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Stop." This concept was inspired by Quentin Tarantino's ambition to create ten films before retiring. The release date for "Play" has yet to be announced.
