Armaan Malik remixes Ed Sheeran’s hit ‘2step’

Armaan Malik and Warner Music India have brought out a reprised version of Ed Sheeran’s ‘2step’. This is part of their second big collaboration.

Recently, the music label had announced a strategic deal with the Indian singer for the launch of his native music label Always Music Global.

Sheeran, who is also a Warner Music Group artiste, had launched a conceptual video of ‘2step’ featuring Lil Baby earlier this year. The brand-new version of the song has been recreated from the 2021 multi-platinum album and was released with Sheeran, Lil Baby and their crew moving across the city of Kyiv, Ukraine, prior to the Russian invasion.

The song was released in support of Ukraine and its people; Sheeran has vowed to donate his record royalties from YouTube streams of the video to the DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. Malik is also backing the cause with his latest collaboration.

Malik is the youngest Indian-origin artiste to perform at Wembley Stadium's SSE Arena and has been listed in the Top 10 acts at the SSE Live Awards 2016.

This marks his second international collaboration; he had previously featured in the 2021 song ‘Echo’ with K-Pop star Eric Nam and American music producer KSHMR.

Malik said, “I’m humbled and honoured to be part of this collaboration. My version of his popular song ‘2step’ is about the trials and tribulations of an artiste’s life and his journey. Ed Sheeran is one of the most loved singers of recent times and I consider myself one of his ardent fans and admirers. It’s a dream come true for me. ‘2step’ was launched with a very noble cause and I take pride now in being a small part of it.”
