Background

Ed Sheeran is a self-proclaimed Pokémon fan,[3][4] and had collaborated with the Pokémon Company before. From 22 to 30 November 2021, Pokémon Go featured an in-game performance by Sheeran.[5] In August 2022, Sheeran welcomed participants of the 2022 Pokémon World Championships in a video message.[6][7]

On 22 September 2022,[3] Sheeran wrote on his Instagram: "I met the people from Pokémon when I was travelling in Japan, and we joked about me writing a song for them", which led to the collaboration.[8] In a separate statement, Sheeran wrote that he liked Pokémon since primary school, and called it "such an honour to add a song into a Pokémon game and shoot a nostalgic video too".[9]

Composition

"Celestial" is a pop song in the key of D major, with a tempo of 123 BPM. It is based around a chord progression of G–Bm–D–A (I–iii–V–II). This progression can also be seen in the song's video, written in a notebook Sheeran keeps.[10]

Music video

The music video was also released on 29 September 2022, and was directed by Yuichi Kodama.[11] It depicts Sheeran interacting with a variety of sketch-style Pokémon, including a Snorlax that saves Sheeran from a car accident and a Lapras that takes him across a river. The appearances of the Pokémon were drawn by art director Yu Nagaba. According to an NME article, Nagaba emulated the way Sheeran drew Pokémon when he was younger.[1]
