A pulsating, club-ready remix of Sheeran's nostalgic 2017 hit, transforming the stadium singalong into a euphoric dancefloor anthem.
- The original "Castle on the Hill" was released as a double A-side with "Shape of You" in January 2017, both previewing Sheeran's third studio album, '÷' (Divide).
- The Throttle remix offers a significant departure from the original's guitar-driven, anthemic rock sound, leaning into a driving electro-house beat with melodic synths.
- Atlantic Records UK released this remix as a standalone digital single, capitalizing on the original song's massive popularity and Sheeran's dominance in the charts.
