Ed Sheeran's first ever duet with Beyonce has dropped.

Announced on Thursday, the British pop star teamed up with Queen Bey for a new version of "Perfect" from his March 2017 album ÷.

Sheeran first dropped the announcement on Instagram, marking the release time of 7pm E.T.

Aaaand here it is, proving that everything is better with Beyoncé. If this isn't played at everyone's goddamn wedding, I'll eat this hat right here.

Sheeran is king of collabs lately, popping up on Taylor Swift's reputation, and joining Future for a wee "rap" on the album's second track "End Game."

Believe us when we say, "Perfect" is a much, much better moment for Sheeran.
