Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Return With Ed Sheeran on New Song 'Growing Up': Listen

“I’ll be patient one more month/You’ll wrap your fingers around my thumb,” Sheeran sings, “Time’s are changing, I know/But who I am I if I’m the person you become, if I’m still growing up/I’m still growing up.”

In a statement on the song, Macklemore (real name: Ben Haggerty) writes, “When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back.  To look at who you are.  This is why ‘Growing Up’ felt like the right song to re-emerge with.  It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs.   We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this.  We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning.  Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.

And if you’re wondering…

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th.  There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe.  She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.  She is the love of my life.  This song is for her.”

The Heist produced a pair of No. 1 hits with “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us,” and was nominated for album of the year at the 2014 Grammys. Macklemore joined his pal Sheeran onstage at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival for a special performance of “Same Love,” which was nominated for song of the year.
