Ed Sheeran shared a brand new song for his birthday today (February 17), and while it's not the official third single from his upcoming Divide album, but is one of his "favzzzzz."

"How Would You Feel (Paean)" returns to Ed's soft and strummy acoustic side, a la "Thinking Out Loud," as opposed to the first two songs Sheeran shared from his third studio album, Rihanna-inspired trop bop "Shape of You" and the rollicking, nostalgic "Castle on a Hill."  Sheeran recently delivered "Shape of You" on both Saturday Night Live and the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.

"As it’s my birthday I dropped a new song called How Would You Feel (Paean), give it a listen while I eat some cake," the newly-minted 26 year old tweeted on Friday morning.

Listen to studio version of "How Would You Feel (Paean)" via Spotify below, and check out Ed's live acoustic rendition too.
