Ed Sheeran<\/a> is taking musical inspiration from one of his friends. On Thursday, the 32-year-old singer shared a video of himself singing a portion of his new song, “American Town,” for his pal, <\/span>Courteney Cox<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Before Sheeran began performing the tune, which will appear on his upcoming album,\u00a0<\/span>Autumn Variations<\/span><\/em>, the singer told Cox that she is partially to thank for the track.<\/span><\/p>\n “Courteney, I wrote a song inspired by\u00a0<\/span>Friends<\/span><\/em>, the show that you were on,” Sheeran told Cox, who starred on the beloved sitcom as Monica Geller. “I’m going to play it to you. It’s called ‘American Town.'”<\/span><\/p>\n With that, Sheeran played the track, singing, “We’re a long way from home \/ Haven’t seen you in so long \/ But it all came back in one moment \/ And the year started cold \/ But I didn’t notice at all \/ When we found there’s a room we’re both in.”<\/span><\/p>\n “We ate Chinese food in small white boxes \/ Live the life we saw in <\/span>Friends<\/span><\/em>,” he continued singing.\u00a0“Your room it barely fits the mattress \/ Wake up, leave for work again \/ The wind it seems to blow right through us \/ Down jackets are the trend.”<\/span><\/p>\n Cox was delighted by Sheeran’s performance, telling him, “Oh my gosh. I love that. Wow,” before quipping, “Do I get paid?”<\/span><\/p>\n Sheeran and Cox are longtime pals, and the singer even <\/span>introduced the actress to her beau<\/a>,\u00a0Johnny McDaid. Since then, the pair has made it a point to collaborate; they’ve <\/span>performed “The Routine”<\/a> from\u00a0<\/span>Friends<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>attempted the famed\u00a0Dirty Dancing\u00a0<\/em>lift<\/a>, and have even <\/span>sung together<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
