"Nothing on You" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran featuring Argentine rapper Paulo Londra and English rapper Dave from his fourth studio album, "No.6 Collaborations Project" (2019). It was released by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records on 12 July 2019. The song was written by Sheeran, Londra, Dave, Daniel Oviedo, Cristian Salazar, and Fred Gibson, and produced by Gibson and Sam Tsang. Background. Sheeran announced the collaboration, as well as the entire album's tracklist, on 18 June 2019 via Instagram. Immediately following Sheeran's announcement, Londra shared the  crazy surprise with his fans on social media, saying: "All I can say at this moment is that dreams do come true and thank you, Ed Sheeran, for giving me the opportunity to do what I do on his album." As to how the collaboration came together, Londra revealed to "Billboard" that the album was already "closed", which meant the likelihood that a collaboration between Sheeran and him could appear on it was slim, but it ended up coming together just in time. For Londra, one of the main purposes of this collaboration was to inspire other Latin artists to  dream big. Composition. The track starts with a melodic line of a synthesizer that is repeated during the three-minutes twenty-seconds of the song, acting as its leitmotif. After its first verse and chorus, with Sheeran commanding, Londra attacks the beat. Its entrance to the melodic base denotes the work of a professional rapper. Londra's flow is closed by Dave for Sheeran, with his melodic cadence, to put an end to the song. Critical reception. Jota Ayerza of "Billboard Argentina" highlighted Londra's performance, saying: "It seems like if the Córdoba-born singer has been preparing for this  moment since his days as freestyler, without even knowing it." Music video. The accompanying music video for "Nothing on You" was released on 8 August 2019.
