“Antisocial” marks the first collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Travis Scott and the sixth single for Ed’s No.6 Collaborations Project. It was first teased via an Instagram post by engineer Tre Nagella on October 31, 2018. The track introspectively delves into their “antisocial” personalities and describe their desire for keeping their lives private. The music video directed by Dave Meyers debuted on July 12, 2019.

Between March and its eventual release, the song suffered from multiple leaks, originally under the name “Don’t Touch Me.” These earlier versions of the song featured an extended outro that was cut from the final release; Travis could also be heard on the chorus.
