According to fans, the song had leaked on YouTube months earlier, but didn't appear on Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations Project.
One Twitter user wrote, "someone getting fired cause it’s a unreleased song", while another stated, "So where is the official audio..... y’all know it was leaked a while ago... ima need the official track before I get excited."
A few other Twitter users have been posting screenshots of them listening to the song on streaming services, but it's still yet to appear on Spotify or Apple Music in the UK.
