MUThe acoustic version of “2002” by Anne-Marie with Ed Sheeran was released in July 2018, featuring nothing but their vocals and Ed’s guitar.
The song itself already had a special connection between them. Ed Sheeran co-wrote “2002,” and he was also the one who encouraged Anne-Marie to release it as a single when she initially hesitated.
What makes this version memorable is how simple it is. No studio effects, no production tricks, just two artists backstage playing and singing together. Fans often say it sounds almost identical to the studio version, proving how strong their raw vocals are.
Their chemistry also comes from a real friendship. Anne-Marie has described their relationship as being like brother and sister, and the two have known each other for years, even jokingly calling each other “Mug” and getting matching tattoos of the word.
In the video, their personalities balance each other perfectly. Anne-Marie is playful and expressive, while Ed stays focused on the guitar, creating a natural dynamic that many viewers describe as “introvert and extrovert energy.”
It is that comfort between them that makes the performance feel so genuine. Just two friends, a guitar, and a song that millions of people keep coming back to years later.
