At the end of the clip, Jeremy donned a dapper tan blazer and shirt, with his long hair pulled back into a bun for the official music video.
Ed and Jeremy first met a few years ago and instantly hit it off at the private party that followed Ed's first stadium show in South Africa.
The hitmaker joked that Jeremy was a better loop artist than him and requested to write together.

The duo have penned a number of tracks together, working on Better Together ahead of Jeremy's upcoming third studio album, Heard You Got Love.
It was co-written by Ed and the star's longterm co-writers Johnny McDaid and Steve Mac.
Jeremy revealed: 'He said I was a better loop artist than he is. Very kind, but not true! But we are very similar artists, in many aspects of our jobs. We spent the night hanging out and talking shop, and he suggested we write together.'

News of the musical collaboration broke two years ago when Ed was said to have come out of music retirement to write new songs with Jeremy.
The Shape Of You star announced back in August 2019 that he intended to take an 'extended break' from the music business following the end of his record-breaking 258-date Divide tour.
But Jeremy, 36, revealed that he had been working on an exciting new project with Ed prior to the UK's lockdown.

Speaking to The Sun at the time, Jeremy said: 'I arrived early in the morning and we worked all day on a few different songs. He's known to be a very fast writer.
'He's very fluid and moves quickly. He can work with whoever he wants, so there's something beautiful about the fact that he wanted to work with me.
'I couldn't have called him and been like, "Yeah, I want to work together, like, get ready."'
Better Together is out now and Jeremy Loop’s album, Heard You Got Love, will be released next month.
