“Your Music Plus” Audio Series Highlights Ed Sheeran’s New Single


Cumulus Media announces the launch today of a new installment of its original multi-part audio series, Your Music Plus, featuring global superstar Ed Sheeran’s new single, “Azizam,” a rhythmic pop song about the universality of emotion. The exclusive audio series takes listeners behind the making of the single, out now on Atlantic Records, with exclusive audio of the singer/songwriter sharing insights into the genesis of his new era of music and the lightness reflected in his new songs. The Your Music Plus audio series will air for the next two weeks on Cumulus Media’s Top 40 and Hot AC stations across the U.S.

“Azizam” is the result of an in-studio collaboration between Sheeran and Swedish/Iranian producer Ilya Salmanzadeh (Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith), and brings a pop context to Persian and Irish folk music influences. With a song title that comes from a Persian term of endearment meaning "my dear" or "my beloved,” the single’s exuberant call to action – to live the moment “in between the dancing lights” on the dance floor until the sun rises – urges listeners to return to joy, to light, to love, and to fun.

Greg Frey, VP of Music Partnerships, Cumulus Media, said: “We’re excited to partner with our friends at Atlantic Records to bring one of the most anticipated singles of 2025 to Your Music Plus: Ed Sheeran’s “Azizam.” “Azizam” is a heartfelt and joyous banger that’s already a global sensation. Now we get to share it with our Top 40 and Hot AC listeners through Your Music Plus with exclusive audio from Ed about creating the song, the meaning behind “Azizam,” and hints of Ed’s future plans.”

Your Music Plus highlights new music in a unique way by sharing with radio listeners the thoughts of the biggest stars in different formats in a series of revealing and exclusive vignettes across AC, Alternative, CHR, Country, Hot AC, Rock and Urban formats. The shows feature artist commentary on the song, with artists presenting different aspects of their song’s personal meaning, the inspiration behind the music, and insights on their life and career.
