Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber have finally blessed us with a duet - and it's all about their love lives.

The singers dropped their new hit I Don’t Care on Friday morning after days of teasing. The track, which focuses on relationships, came with an official lyric video, so you have no excuse to not sing along.

It’s not the first time Sheeran and Bieber have teamed up musically, with Sheeran having co-written the Canadian’s hit Love Yourself. Sheeran originally penned the track for his own album but passed it on.

Here are the best lyrics from I Don’t Care:

You know I love ya / did I ever tell ya?

From Sheeran's first verse it’s apparent that it can double as a love song, with the Divide artist appearing to pay tribute to his wife Cherry Seaborn.

You make it better like that / Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah / All the bad things disappear / And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody / I can deal with the bad nights / When I'm with my baby, yeah

Sheeran sings about the love of his life Seaborn, who he reportedly wed in February, and how being with her in any setting makes him feel. He attests that he can deal with whatever comes – “the bad nights” – as long as they are together.

With all these people all around / I'm crippled with anxiety / But I'm told it's where we're s'posed to be / You know what? It's kinda crazy 'cause I really don't mind / And you make it better like that

Bieber dedicates his parts to wife Hailey Baldwin – the pair married last year after rekindling their romance over the summer. In recent months, Bieber has posted at length about his struggles with mental health, asking fans to “pray for him” and revealing that he is working on “deep rooted issues”.

In the song, Bieber sings candidly about “crippling” anxiety and how his model wife helps him through his battle.

I don't like nobody but you, I hate everyone here / I don't like nobody but you, baby, yeah

A familiar and relatable situation – only enjoying a party because the person you love is on your arm. The pop pairing are finally “enjoying” socialising because they have Seaborn and Baldwin with them.

Full lyrics:

I'm at a party I don't wanna be at

And I don't ever wear a suit and tie, yeah

Wonderin' if I could sneak out the back

Nobody's even lookin' me in my eyes

Can you take my hand?

Finish my drink, say, "Shall we dance?" (Hell, yeah)

You know I love ya, did I ever tell ya?

You make it better like that

[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

Don't think I fit in at this party

Everyone's got so much to say (Yeah)

I always feel like I'm nobody, mmm

Who wants to fit in anyway?

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]

'Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah

All the bad things disappear

And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near

You can take me anywhere

And you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]

We at a party we don't wanna be at

Tryna talk, but we can't hear ourselves

Press your lips, I'd rather kiss 'em right back

With all these people all around

I'm crippled with anxiety

But I'm told it's where we're s'posed to be

You know what? It's kinda crazy 'cause I really don't mind

And you make it better like that

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]

Don't think we fit in at this party

Everyone's got so much to say, oh yeah, yeah

When we walked in, I said I'm sorry, mmm

But now I think that we should stay

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber]

'Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah

All the bad things disappear

Yeah, you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody

I can deal with the bad nights when I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near

You can take me anywhere

And you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody

I can deal with the bad nights when I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (No)

[Bridge: Justin Bieber & Ed Sheeran]

I don't like nobody, but it's like you're the only one here

I don't like nobody but you, baby, I don't care

I don't like nobody but you, I hate everyone here

I don't like nobody but you, baby, yeah

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber]

'Cause I don't care (Don't care)

When I'm with my baby, yeah (Oh yeah)

All the bad things disappear (Disappear)

And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody (Maybe I'm somebody)

I can deal with the bad nights (With the bad nights)

When I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near (Me near)

You can take me anywhere (Anywhere, anywhere)

And you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody

(I'm loved by somebody, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I can deal with the bad nights

When I'm with my baby, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
