Ed Sheeran Covers Gyptian’s “Hold You” During Surprise Street Set with DJ AG

During a recent unannounced street performance in Sheffield, Ed Sheeran sang a few bars from Gyptian’s 2010 breakout single “Hold You”, before seamlessly transitioning into his own song “I Don’t Care”—delivered over the same riddim. The moment, part of a set with DJ AG and grime artist JME, was livestreamed on TikTok and has since circulated widely online.

Originally released by VP Records, “Hold You” became a pivotal dancehall track of the 2010s, helping introduce a new wave of Jamaican music to global audiences. Its riddim, produced by Ricky Blaze, has proven to have lasting appeal—popping up across genres, remixes, and now, impromptu sets by chart-topping artists.

The original version of “Hold You” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
