Background and writing[edit]
Sheeran wrote "Thinking Out Loud" with Amy Wadge (pictured), an English singer-songwriter based in Wales.
Sheeran wrote "Thinking Out Loud" with Amy Wadge,[4] a Wales-based singer-songwriter. He met Wadge when he was 17 years old and they had since written several songs together. Of these, five songs composed the extended play Songs I Wrote with Amy,[5] which Sheeran independently released on 4 April 2010. Wadge also co-wrote the song "Gold Rush", a track on the deluxe version of Sheeran's debut album, + (2011).[4]
In February 2014, Wadge visited Sheeran in his house for a "chilling-out time".[4] Around that time, Sheeran's second studio album, ×, was nearly completed.[6] Wadge revealed that her visit was not supposed to be a songwriting session.[4]
While Sheeran was taking a shower, Wadge played a few chords on a guitar. The tune caught the attention of Sheeran and he ran downstairs. Sheeran suggested working with the tune, but only after returning home from dinner, work began.[4] The melody developed from a simple riff. According to Sheeran, he composed the melody on a guitar in a manner which was "very Van-like", referring to Van Morrison. The Irish musician has been an inspiration to Sheeran since a young age, and Sheeran wanted to capture that vibe when he composed the song.[7]
In the kitchen,[8] Sheeran and Wadge began writing the song at 2:00 am on 4 February 2014, and completed it in 20 minutes.[4] According to Wadge, the lyrical content resulted from her and Sheeran's talking about "everlasting love", inspired by the circumstances relevant at that time.[9] Sheeran also revealed that the lyrics were inspired by his then-girlfriend, Athina Andrelos,[10] whom Sheeran met in early 2014. Sheeran would later explain that he wrote the song "in a relationship at a really, really happy point".[11]

Immediately after writing, Sheeran recorded the song on his phone.[4] He was keen to include "Thinking Out Loud" on the second album. He properly recorded the song the following day at the Sticky Studios, a recording facility located in the small Surrey village of Windlesham, and informed Wadge of its inclusion on the album.[4] It became the last song recorded for the album.[4] For "Thinking Out Loud", Sheeran sought the assistance of Jake Gosling, who produced much of his debut album and had earlier contributed tracks, four of which appear on the standard version of the second album.
Lyrics and music[edit]
"Thinking Out Loud" (2014)
A 28-second sample of "Thinking Out Loud", a romantic blue-eyed soul ballad. Its composition has a strong influence of Marvin Gaye's 1973 hit "Let's Get It On".

"Thinking Out Loud" is a romantic ballad[12][13] with blue-eyed soul influences.[1] Sheeran referred to it as a "walking down the aisle song".[14] In the lyrics, Sheeran reflects on "getting older and fidelity and love in a fairly conventional context", according to Eric Clarke, professor of music at University of Oxford.[15]
The song was composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 78 beats per minute.[16] Sheeran's vocals range from A2 to B4.[17] In the mix, Sheeran's voice is "unusually" loud over the instruments, which, for Mike Senior of the music technology magazine, Sound on Sound, is "surprisingly rare" in contemporary records.[18] Senior analysed the vocal elements in which he found that, in spite of several notes sung off pitch, "the overall framework of the vocal remains fundamentally in tune".[18]
Journalists noted similarities between "Thinking Out Loud" and "Let's Get It On", a 1973 single by soul musician, Marvin Gaye. Andrew Unterberger of Spin wrote that "the gently loping four-note bass pattern and crisp '70s soul drums absolutely smack of the Gaye classic, as do the embrace-insistent lyrics and general candlelit-bedroom feel".[19] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard called it a "sleek update" of the classic.[20]
Single release[edit]
Prior to the album release, Sheeran debuted "Thinking Out Loud" on 24 May 2014 by performing it live on the British music television show, Later... with Jools Holland. The debut followed the release of the video accompaniment to "Sing", the album's lead single. "Thinking Out Loud" was immediately perceived as having contrast to "Sing", which is a "high-energy funk/R&B-infused song".[13][21]
"Thinking Out Loud" became available on 18 June 2014 as an "instant grat" download for consumers who pre-ordered × on the iTunes Store. It served as a promotional single from ×, which was released two days later. On the standard version of the album, "Thinking Out Loud" is the next-to-last track,[7] the last being "Afire Love".
"Thinking Out Loud" was initially serviced to Australian radio on 14 August 2014 and later released on 24 September 2014. It served as the third of five singles released from the album; it followed the songs, "Sing" and "Don't", the first and second single respectively.
According to Sheeran, no one from his record label wanted to release "Thinking Out Loud" as a single, favouring over "Photograph" as the "big song".[11] "Photograph" was supposed to be the main single, but when "Thinking Out Loud" spent several weeks within the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart albeit not receiving rotation,[22] the latter song was kept as the third single. "Photograph" was later released as the fifth and final single.
The song was issued on 7" vinyl exclusively as part of the Black Friday Record Store Day, which was celebrated on 28 November 2014.[23] The vinyl record included, as a B-side, the live version of "I'm A Mess" which Sheeran performed at the Lightship 95 studio.[24]
Music video[edit]
Filming of the video took place at the Crystal Ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles
Emil Nava directed the video accompaniment to the single. Most of it was filmed in the Crystal Ballroom at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The video was shot continuously using a 16 mm film camera.[25]
Unlike Sheeran's earlier videos, where he assume a low profile, he took the lead role on "Thinking Out Loud". In the video, Sheeran executes a ballroom dance with Brittany Cherry, a contestant from the televised American dance competition, So You Think You Can Dance.[26] The routine was choreographed by Nappytabs and with training help from Paul Karmiryan. While on concert tour, Sheeran spent five hours a day for three weeks to practice with Cherry.[11]
The video was released on October 8, 2014. After first 24 hours, the video had over 2.7 million views on video-sharing website, YouTube.[26] As of September 18, 2017, it has over 1.8 billion views,[27] making it the 21st most viewed video on the site.[28] The music video received four nominations at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year and Best Male Video.[29]
Live performances[edit]
On 26 October 2014, Sheeran performed the song on third live results show of series 11 of The X Factor.[30] He also performed it on 9 November 2014 in the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.[31] Sheeran also performed the song as a special guest at The Voice's live finale on 16 December 2014. Furthermore, Sheeran performed the track on the Christmas Special of The Jonathan Ross Show on 20 December 2014. He also performed the song at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on 8 February 2015 along with John Mayer, Questlove, Adam Blackstone, and Herbie Hancock.[32] Sheeran performed "Thinking Out Loud" on 13 April 2015 results show of the second series of The X Factor in New Zealand.[33] Sheeran also performed "Thinking Out Loud" at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014.[34]
Translations[edit]
On 26 December 2015, Sheeran released an Irish-language version of "Thinking Out Loud" for the upcoming Irish album, CEOL 2016.[35]
Critical reception[edit]
Lauren Murphy of The Irish Times noted that the "injection of blue-eyed soul" on the song is "enjoyable", and that it "makes Sheeran's aptitude for melody difficult to dismiss".[36] Jim Beviglia of the American Songwriter thought that although "tidy", "Thinking Out Loud" comes "toothless" compared with the "daring confessionals" Sheeran made on the other songs.[37]
The Washington Post writer, Allison Stewart, has hailed the song as "a blatant and mercilessly effective bid for 'I'll Be'-style wedding-song immortality".[38] Billboard magazine's Jason Lipshutz, commented that Sheeran "pushes this bold stab at romance past its sappiest moments, and ends the album on a likable note".[20] Jamieson Cox of Time wrote that "the album’s greatest moment by a country mile is relegated to its penultimate slot", referring to "Thinking Out Loud".[39]
Chart performance[edit]
"Thinking Out Loud" topped several charts in Europe, Oceania and South Africa, and reached the top ten in several other countries in the Northern America (see Weekly charts below). Upon the album's release, the single debuted at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. On 2 November 2014, "Thinking Out Loud" topped the UK Singles Chart in its 19th week in the Top 40, breaking the record for the longest ascent to number one.[40] In the week ending 27 June 2015, it had spent a record consecutive 52 weeks (or a full year) inside the top 40.[41] Around the same time, the single had accumulated 1.65 million combined sales and streams; it became one of the 161 million-selling singles and the 26th best-selling of the 2010s in the UK.[42] On 18 September 2015, the British Phonographic Industry certified the single triple platinum for combined sales (including streaming points) of 1,800,000 units.[43] As of September 2017, the song has sold 1,219,000 copies with 130 million stream, making a total of 2,521,000 units sold in the United Kingdom.[44]
In the US, "Thinking Out Loud" peaked at number two on the all-encompassing chart Billboard Hot 100; the single became Sheeran's highest charting single until the release of "Shape of You" in 2017. It remained the runner-up spot for eight consecutive weeks, a chart feat last held in 2004.[45] "Thinking Out Loud" was kept off the top spot by "Uptown Funk", although it outperformed the latter song for a week in February 2015 on the Billboard Digital Songs.[46] On other specific US charts, "Thinking Out Loud" reached number one on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs for the week ending 21 February 2015, marking Sheeran's first.[47] For the week ending 21 March 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" held the top position on the Billboard Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, and Adult Contemporary charts, becoming the fourth song in history to lead all three adult charts simultaneously.[48] In celebration of Google Play's 5th anniversary, Google announced "Thinking Out Loud" as the top selling song on the platform.[49] "Thinking Out Loud" is Sheeran's best-selling song in the United States, with 5,622,000 copies sold as of September 2017.[50]
On streaming services[edit]
In the UK, Sheeran's native country, "Thinking Out Loud" claimed the record for the most streams in a single week in December 2014. The track accumulated over 1,638,000 streams,[51] and subsequently achieved a personal best of 1,850,000 streams in the week ending 21 December 2014. This record has since been broken by several songs.
In April 2015, the song ranked as the most popular based on the 2.8 million sleep-themed playlists created by Spotify users.[52] Sleep is one of the company's most popular categories that, according to Spotify, "people also use for general relaxation and to help themselves unwind".[53][54] The Guardian columnist Tim Dowling suggested that the report indicated "very popular, slightly mellow songs that keep cropping up on sleep playlists" but not a list of a "carefully curated journey to unconsciousness".[55]
In October 2015, "Thinking Out Loud" set the record of most streams of a song on Spotify, having accumulated over 500 million streams.[56] The company created the "Sheerio Index", an interactive graphic map which showed where Sheeran was most popular. The color-based map indicated that Sheeran was most popular in Denmark.[56] It was surpassed a month later by "Lean On", a song by Major Lazer and DJ Snake featuring MØ.[57]
Parodies[edit]
On 28 April 2015 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, actor Jeremy Renner, known for his role as Hawkeye in the Avengers movies, performed on piano and sang a song captioned by Fallon's show on YouTube as "Hawkeye Sings About His Super Powers". While not parodying Sheeran's lyrics, it is sung to the same tune. The lyrics suggest that Hawkeye feels defensive compared with the other Avengers: "But listen, I've got powers too; they're pretty sweet. / I promise I can do so much more than just archery ... / I can open a pickle jar. / I'm friggin' Hawkeye. / Maybe I'm as super as they are."[58]
The song and video were also parodied in the CW series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Titled "Let's Have Intercourse", the song was sung by Scott Michael Foster with Rachel Bloom appearing in the scene dancing with Foster in the same manner as Sheeran and Cherry. The lyrics are an appeal by Foster's character, Nathaniel Plimpton III, to series protagonist Rebecca Bunch (Bloom) to have sex whilst trapped in an elevator.[59]
Plagiarism allegation[edit]
On 10 August 2016, it was revealed that the family of Ed Townsend, who wrote Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" was suing Ed Sheeran saying "the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic compositions of 'Thinking' are substantially and/or strikingly similar to the drum composition of 'Let's'."[60]
Usage in media[edit]
The song was featured in the 2016 film Me Before You. It was also covered in the film Bridget Jones's Baby.

"Only You" is a song written by English musician Vince Clarke. He wrote it while with Depeche Mode, but recorded it in 1982 after forming the duo Yazoo with Alison Moyet. It was released as Yazoo's first single on 15 March 1982 in the United Kingdom. Upon its UK release, the single became an instant success, hitting number two on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, the song was released as their second single in November 1982 and charted at number sixty-seven on Billboard Hot 100. "Only You" also made the US Adult Contemporary chart at number thirty-eight.
A remix of "Only You" made the UK Top 40 again in 1999, while reaching number sixteen on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The music video for the new version was created using the Houdini 3D animation software package.[2]

Composition[edit]
"Only You"
An 18-second sample of "Only You" demonstrating the synth layering of the music and soulful style of Alison Moyet's singing.
Problems playing this file? See media help.
Clarke's melody in the song "has a sweetly yearning quality, elegantly arranged by Clarke and producer E.C. Radcliffe in a fashion that links several different monophonic synths together to give the tune more depth and melodic substance" according to Allmusic.[3] Moyet's vocals, they say, is a "perfectly understated vocal performance, soulful yet dignified in the manner of '70s soul star Ann Peebles, of Clarke's gentle and romantic lyrics."

An a cappella version by The Flying Pickets was even more successful than the 1982 original on the UK Singles Chart, being released towards the end of the following year and becoming the Christmas number one in 1983. It spent five weeks at the top.[4] This made "Only You" the first a cappella chart-topper in the UK,[5] and was released on overseas markets the following year.
The Flying Pickets version went on to become a number one hit on the German Singles Chart in 1984,[6] and charted in Canada as well,[7] though it saw no chart action in the United States. The song is also used at the end of Wong Kar-wai's film, Fallen Angels, which was released in 1995.[8]
This version was reportedly one of Margaret Thatcher's favourite songs, a fact that has been noted with irony, due to the band's Socialist views.[9]

Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias recorded a Spanish version of the song, which was featured on his second studio album Vivir. The track was released as the second single from that album and became very successful, debuting at number 1 in the United States Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart (his second in a row, and the first artist to do so) on 3 May 1997,[10] and spent ten non-consecutive weeks at the top.[11] Iglesias also recorded the song in English, which is included in the album Bailamos Greatest Hits.
