Ed Sheeran said, "I don't know if I need to give context on who Shah Rukh Khan is. I'd say he is probably like first or second famous person in the world. He invited me around his house to play paddle, and we played paddle for like 3 hours. Then he pitched me an idea and was like, 'Do it whenever,' and I was like, 'To be honest, I am here so like do you want to get dinner tomorrow?' By the time I had gone there, I was singing the whole tune in Hindi!"
In the BTS video, Ed is seen recording Sapphire in Hindi in a studio. He revealed that it was his first experience singing in Hindi.
