English singer Ed Sheeran says he is ready to collaborate with fast-rising artiste Fireboy on ‘Peru’ remix.

In an interview on Apple Music 1 with Elton John, while discussing the release of his new single ‘Merry Christmas’, the artiste revealed that he was keen on working with Fireboy to remix ‘Peru’.

According to the artiste, he got a request from Fireboy to hop on the remix.

“I got sent this a week ago from a friend of mine, Jamal. He said, ‘Fireboy DML would love you on the remix of this song’,” said Sheeran.

Fireboy has not confirmed the collaboration.

When Peoples Gazette reached out to Fireboy’s team on Monday, they neither confirmed nor denied Sheeran’s remarks on ‘Peru’ remix collaboration.

The team promised to respond later but had not done so as of the time of filing this report.

Aside from being one of the hottest sounds currently, Sheeran said he found the hit song “intriguing” and wasted no time in recording a verse for it.

“I just found it really intriguing. So I recorded a verse for it… and it’s a song that’s blowing up in Nigeria and Ghana at the moment, and their club scene runs over Christmas,” he said.

Just like every other ‘Peru’ addict, Sheeran confessed he had had the song on repeat in his home.

“This is the original, and it’s just, it’s an earworm, and it’s addictive, and I’m obsessed with it. I mean, Cherry will tell you, I’ve had this song on repeat constantly in the house for the last week,” he added.
