What hit song has the lyric "I found the love for me, darling just dive right in"?

The story behind the answer

The hit song with the lyric “I found the love for me, darling just dive right in” is “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran.

The romantic ballad was written by Sheeran and released in 2017 on his third studio album, ÷ (Divide). Its opening lyric introduces the song’s central theme: discovering a lasting, deeply personal love. Sheeran has said the song was inspired by his relationship with Cherry Seaborn, whom he later married.

“Perfect” became one of Sheeran’s biggest global hits. It was issued as a single in 2017 and topped charts in numerous countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. The song also received prominent duet versions, including “Perfect Duet” with Beyoncé and “Perfect Symphony” with Andrea Bocelli.

A common mix-up is confusing it with another Ed Sheeran love song, “Thinking Out Loud,” which also became popular at weddings. However, the quoted opening lyric belongs specifically to “Perfect,” making the stored answer the single canonical response.
