Songfacts®:

  • English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's popularity can be put down to the fact that he looks more like a university student than a recording star, and his songs have a subject matter that resonate with a young audience. This tune, for instance, is about breaking up with his girlfriend when she went to university. Sheeran admitted to Q magazine: "I don't really look like a performer. I kind of look like I'd be your mate's brother, or some dude you went to school with. So I'm quite accessible in that sense. I don't wear expensive clothes or sing about fast cars. I write about everyday things that people can relate to."
