When it comes to crafting music that tugs at heartstrings to evoke emotions of love, longing, and loss, few can match the prowess of Ed Sheeran. Ahead of the upcoming holidays, he releases a melancholic track for those who miss the presence of their loved ones during Christmas. Under the tree, part of Richard Curtis’ upcoming holiday movie That Christmas, slated to drop on Netflix on December 4, the ballad-like number, though sonically simple, is evocative.

“This song is written about a character in the film who wants to spend Christmas with his dad, but doesn’t get to. It’s a heartbreaking scene, and something so many people go through every year, being alone at Christmas,” wrote Sheeran alongside a video that combines a clip from the animated film with a live-action version featuring the singer and actress Claudia Jessie of Bridgerton fame.
