Castle On The Hill

"Castle On The Hill" is a rock-influenced track by Ed Sheeran, released in 2017 as one of the double lead singles from his third studio album ÷. Written with producer Benny Blanco, the song draws on Sheeran's upbringing in Framlingham, Suffolk, referencing the local Framlingham Castle. Its driving, anthemic guitar work makes it a rewarding study for electric guitarists looking to explore how a singer-songwriter builds intensity through layered chords and dynamic strumming patterns.

  • "Castle On The Hill" was released simultaneously with "Shape of You" as a double lead single from the album ÷ in January 2017.
  • The song references Framlingham Castle in Suffolk, England — Sheeran's adopted hometown — giving it a strong sense of place and personal narrative.
  • Co-written and produced with Benny Blanco, the track showcases Sheeran's ability to blend acoustic roots with a full, electric guitar-driven rock sound.
