Indian pop singer Armaan Malik is set to delight his fans with a collaboration with English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran for a new version of 2Step. Ed Sheeran’s latest version of 2step will be released on June 7. The song summarises the trials and tribulations of an artist’s life and journey - and emphasizes the need for a loved one's support.

In a statement, Armaan Malik said:

“I’m beyond excited to be featured on this version of 2step with Ed Sheeran! He's always been such an inspiration, and I’m a big fan of his music and incredible songwriting. This is a huge moment not only for me, but also for other Indian artists too. I genuinely believe that this will be the beginning for a lot more collaborations of this nature."

He further added:

“This song talks about confidence, finding power in your art, and leaning on your loved ones. When we have the support of the people we love, we can overcome any adversity. Nothing can keep us from moving forward. Two steps at a time!”
