Ed Sheeran has released a new single after nearly two years. Sheeran announced on Twitter that he had written a song for the upcoming film The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and he played almost every instrument on the track. Sheeran even learned how to play the violin in only one day.
It's also the first solo song I've released in over 2 years, it's not on the new album though, that fun starts next year

BBC reported that the single, “I See Fire,” will appear at the end of the film during the credits.
Sheeran also thanked Peter Jackson, director of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, for letting him be a part of the project.
Big up Peter Jackson and his team for giving me the opportunity

HollywoodLife.com reported that the video for “I See Fire,” was also released. The video is rather simple, just featuring Sheeran in the recording studio, but fans can see how much passion Sheeran put into recording this song.
Sheeran also addressed on Twitter that this single would not be featured on his next album, but that his sophomore album would be coming out next year.
