As for the overall meaning of \"=,\" the singer revealed, \"The theme of the record is me turning 30, becoming a dad, losing a friend, trying to balance work and marriage.\"

The lyrics from \"First Times\" prove just that, as Sheeran sings of different moments from his relationship with wife Cherry Seaborn, with whom he shares daughter Lyra Antarctica.

\"The greatest thing that I have achieved/ Is four little words down on one knee/ You said, 'Darling are you joking?'/ And I just said, 'Please,'\" he sings.

Again on \"2Step,\" Sheeran expresses his love for Seaborn, singing in the chorus, \"2 steppin with the woman I love/ All we need is us.\"

He also released the official music video for his song \"Overpass Graffiti\" from the album on Friday.

\"=\" is the follow up to 2017's \"÷\" (divide) and includes his previously released tracks \"Shivers,\" \"Bad Habits,\" and \"Visiting Hours.\"
