About this song
Ed Sheeran played the song for a GQ magazine writer, along with four others, before they were shared with anyone else, during an interview for the magazine's March cover. The track is built on the arpeggio and time sequence of classic Fifties and early Sixties soul and Stax ballads.
What it's about
Sheeran has said the love songs on the album are about his partner Seaborn, and the song returns to themes of vulnerability, devotion and emotional reflection.
