==Background and composition==
On 21 March 2022, through a social media post for promoting the two songs, Sheeran said that he and Balvin met in a gym in New York in 2021, which led to them having lunch and coffee and tea together that day, and then chatting with each other. He was performing shows in the area for Christmas at the time and the two artists met up in a recording studio and wrote "Sigue" and "Forever My Love". Sheeran added that "it was a proper challenge learning Spanish for this and I had so much fun doing it". About collaborating with Sheeran, Balvin stated that "I wanted him to come to the world of [[reggaeton]] and he invited me to his world as well" and "it was really cool hearing him in Spanish and we hope that you all love the songs as much as we do".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://people.com/music/ed-sheeran-and-j-balvin-join-forces-for-musical-crossover/|title=Ed Sheeran and J Balvin 'Bonded' as They Created Musical Crossovers 'Sigue' and 'Forever My Love'|website=[[People (magazine)|People]]|last=Avila|first=Daniela|date=24 March 2022|accessdate=25 March 2022}}</ref> Sheeran was also interviewed by the New Zealand channel ''Project NZ'' the week before the release of the songs and referred to his next release as "something else that's a bit more of a curveball" and that it would be releasing in ten days, but added that "I don't think it's gonna be a massive hit in New Zealand though" and "it's more gonna be a big hit somewhere else", giving a hint by stating that "when you hear it you'll understand".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/ed-sheeran-j-balvin-two-new-singles-1235046968/|title=Ed Sheeran Met J Balvin at a Gym, Learned Spanish and Now They're Dropping Two New Songs|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|last=Kaufman|first=Gil|date=22 March 2022|accessdate=25 March 2022}}</ref> Writing for ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'', Jason Lipshutz felt that "J Balvin and Ed Sheeran are both global superstars adept at crafting club-ready [[pop music|pop]] and heartfelt [[sentimental ballad|balladry]], and on a new collaborative two-pack, the pair delivers two sides of their artistry while feeding off one another's energy" and "Sheeran sounds confident crooning in Spanish", adding that "Balvin offers bare emotion" with "a party atmosphere on the island-flavored" song.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/first-stream-machine-gun-kelly-latto-j-balvin-ed-sheeran-1235049275/|title=First Stream: New Music From Machine Gun Kelly, Latto, J Balvin & Ed Sheeran and More|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|date=25 March 2022|accessdate=25 March 2022}}</ref> "Sigue" is a [[pop music|pop]], [[reggaeton]], and [[dance music|dance]] [[sentimental ballad|ballad]] that is set in the key of [[B minor]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0253233|title=Sigue|first1=José|last1=José|author-link1=J Balvin|first2=Ed|last2=Sheeran|author-link2=Ed Sheeran|first3=Marco|last3=Masís|author-link3=Tainy|first4=Justin|last4=Quiles|author-link4=Justin Quiles|first5=Kevyn|last5=Moreno|access-date=25 March 2022|website=Musicnotes.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2022/music/news/j-balvin-ed-sheeran-sigue-forever-my-love-collaboration-1235214919/|title=J Balvin, Ed Sheeran Join Their Signature Styles in Two New Collaborative Singles|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|last=Chapman|first=Wilson|date=25 March 2022|accessdate=25 March 2022}}</ref>
