Ed Sheeran dropped an interesting little factoid in conversation with Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 show: he knows a lot more about The Weeknd’s upcoming album than most of us. Sheeran said that, after a long night of drinking at the R&B singer’s house in Toronto, it was suggested that the two might get together the next day and write a song.
“In my head I’m like, ‘The Weeknd doesn’t want to write a song! The Weeknd doesn’t want to work with anyone,'” Sheeran said. “He’s got one feature on his album, which is Kanye West. He doesn’t want to do that.”
Wait, what? Looks like Sheeran didn’t realize that news wasn’t quite public yet. Neither did Lowe, who let the pitch go right by on that one. Despite Sheeran’s incredulousness, they did in fact get together and write a song that Sheeran said is “really, really f–g good.”
