Ed Sheeran dropped his latest single “Cross Me” in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, May 24. The track — which features Chance the Rapper and YnB Rock — will be a part of Sheeran’s upcoming “No. 6 Collaborations” project.
Sheeran teased the new project on social media which is set to drop this summer on July 12.
“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with @chancetherapper and @pnbrock will be out everywhere at the same time,” he wrote in an Instagram post.
Sheeran previously dropped a collaboration with Justin Bieber that will also be on the star-studded project with a number of features yet to be announced.

Ed Sheeran ‘Cross Me’ (feat. Chance the Rapper & YnB Rock) Audio & Lyrics
[Intro: PnB Rock]
Anything she needs, she can call me
Don’t worry ’bout her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me
Just know, if you cross her, then you cross me
Cross me, cross me, if you, if you, if you, if you
It’s FRED again
Anything she needs, she can call me
Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me
Just know, if you cross her, then you cross me
Cross me, cross me, if you, if
[Verse 1: Ed Sheeran]
And she ain’t messin’ with no other man
And me and her have something different
I really need all you to understand
That nobody’s comin’ close
And I don’t ever wanna run around
I spent my youth jumpin’ in and out
You know I fuckin’ love her now
Like nobody ever could
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
And you know I stay trippin’, am I crazy? Oh, no
I’m stickin’ with my baby, for sure
Together, or solo
It doesn’t matter where we are, oh no, no
So, if you hear about my lady, just know
That she ain’t the one to play with, oh no
And I’ll be standin’ so close
So you know that, ayy
[Bridge: PnB Rock]
Anything she needs, she can call me
Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me
Just know, if you cross her, then you cross me
Cross me, cross me, if you, if you, if you, if you
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran, PnB Rock]
If you cross her, then you cross me (Cross me)
And nobody’s comin’ close, yeah
And I think that you should know that
If you cross her
(Anything she needs, she can call me)
Then you cross me
(Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me)
So come on, and let it go
Oh, I think that you should know
[Verse 2: Chance the Rapper]
That she ain’t messin’ with no other man
Now, what you not gon’ do
Is stand there, crouched for me, like you got kung-fu
Death stare, cross-armed, runnin’ your mouth like a faucet
But you don’t know that my girl been doin’ CrossFit
Pew, kung pow, hit your ass with a cross kick
Pulling air out, wear you out, you exhausted
Know she gonna slide anytime you bitches talk shit
Keep a lil’ blade in her fuckin’ lip gloss kit, ayy
No one say “Hi” to me without her
Better pay your respect to the queen
Better do that shit without a flirt
Gotta respect the HBIC
Couple of things that you need to know
If you still wanna be friends with me
[Bridge: PnB Rock]
Just know if you cross her, then you cross me
Cross me, cross me, if you, if you, if you, if you
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran, PnB Rock]
If you cross her
(Anything she needs, she can call me)
Then you cross me
(Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me)
And nobody’s comin’ close, yeah
And I think that you should know that
If you cross her
(Anything she needs, she can call me)
Then you cross me
(Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me)
So come on, and let it go
Oh, I think that you should know
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
She stay trippin’, and she crazy, oh no
Quit messin’ with my baby, for sure
Together, or solo
It doesn’t matter where we are, oh no, no
So if you hear about my lady, just know
That she ain’t the one to play with, oh no
And I’ll be standin’ so close
So you know that
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran, PnB Rock]
If you cross her
(Anything she needs, she can call me)
Then you cross me
(Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me)
And nobody’s comin’ close, yeah
And I think that you should know that
If you cross her
(Anything she needs, she can call me)
Then you cross me
(Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me)
So come on, and let it go
Oh, I think that you should know
[Outro: Ed Sheeran, PnB Rock]
If you cross her
Anything she needs, she can call me
Then you cross me
Don’t worry about her, that’s my seed, yup, that’s all me
Just know, if you cross her, then you cross me
Cross me, cross me, if you, if you, if you, if you
Oh yeah
