In a recent interview Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has another massive hit on his forthcoming album and it will be EVEN bigger than 'Thinking Out Loud'.
'Thinking Out Loud' was a phenomenally successful song for Ed, staying in the UK top 40 for over a year, it also became the first single to be streamed over 500 million times on Spotify. The song also won him two GRAMMYs, for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
Ed said that when he released his second album he didn't think anything could top the success of 'A Team' but then 'Thinking Out Loud' came along. It was then that he realised it WAS possible.
He went on to say that this time there is no pressure with his forthcoming album, although he believes there is a song on there that will be even more popular than 'Thinking Out Loud'.
According to Ed the song in question is called 'Perfect', the audio of which has already been uploaded to YouTube. Written about his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, Ed said the song was inspired by "being in love".
'Perfect' features on Ed's third studio album '÷' which is released this Friday and is a sure-fire number one, having already spawned four top 10 hits including 'Shape of You' twice!
