"Symmetry" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. It was initially released on 12 September 2025 by Gingerbread Man and Atlantic Records, as the fifth song from his album Play. It was re-released as a single on 17 October 2025. "Symmetry" was written and produced by Sheeran, Johnny McDaid, Savan Kotecha, and Ilya Salmanzadeh. The single version features Indian singer and rapper, Karan Aujla. "Symmetry" topped the UK Asian Music Chart for eight weeks.
The original solo version of "Symmetry" was released on Play, on 12 September 2025. Later, on 17 October 2025, Sheeran released an EP with remixes recorded with Indian artists. Titled Play (The Remixes), it includes new versions of "Symmetry", "Don't Look Down", "Heaven", and previously released remix of "Sapphire". Featured artists include: Karan Aujla, Hanumankind, Dhee, Santhosh Narayanan, Jonita and Arijit Singh.
Alexis Petridis from The Guardian highlighted "Symmetry" while reviewing Sheeran's album, Play. He noted that the song opens with looped Indian percussion and vocals but quickly floats off in a different direction, involving spectral voices and heaving sub-bass. Maya Georgi from the Rolling Stone also praised the "sultry dance-floor number" "Symmetry", which has a "thumping heart that can get anyone dancing".
The music video for "Symmetry" was directed by Australian video director, Liam Pethick, who previously directed Sheeran's videos for "Azizam" ("Pink Heart" version) and "Sapphire". It was released along with the single on 17 October 2025 and features Sheeran and Karan Aujla performing the song with the Norwegian hip-hop/urban dance group, Quick Style.
