One Direction's Next Single Could Be Written by Ed Sheeran


Sheeran reveals that he contributes two songs for 1D's new album, saying that 'one of them is kind of a getting-back together song' and the other one 'is an appreciation song.'


One Direction might release an Ed Sheeran-written song as their next single. Teasing the possibility was none other than Sheeran himself, who revealed that he has contributed two songs in 1D's upcoming album "Take Me Home". The "Lego House" singer said that one of his written songs could end up being a follow-up to "Live While We're Young".

"One of them is kind of a getting-back together song. One of them is an appreciation song," Sheeran told MTV News about the upcoming songs, but refused to reveal their titles. "I can't say the titles. The song that I think will be the single, one of the singles, is kind of a very sweet song," he teased.

Sheeran, who wrote ballad song "Moments" for 1D's first album "Up All Night", continued, "It was written about the best things about someone, kind of like the things you wouldn't expect. You'll have to hear it. I can't really say too much 'cause it's their album. I want them to be the first ones to announce it and stuff."

The red-haired British singer/songwriter went on explaining the inspiration behind the two songs he wrote for the popular boyband, saying, "The two songs that I wrote for One Direction's album are, they're the same subject matter as the last song I wrote for the last album 'cause they're from the same batch of songs." He revealed, "They're both about my ex-girlfriend."

One Direction's highly-anticipated new album "Take Me Home" is due in the U.S. on November 12.

I'm seeing him this week.
should 24th-Sep-2012 11:51 am (UTC)
Sigh, moments is such a dull song. Also he's pretty dull in general idk
rainbowchelita 24th-Sep-2012 11:53 am (UTC)
omg no :( you don't like Ed?
i loved moments </3
should 24th-Sep-2012 11:54 am (UTC)
Not rly no :/ He's just really basic to me though I can appreciate that he has a pretty voice
scornedsaint 24th-Sep-2012 11:56 am (UTC)
But Moments is hilarious!
thetrustoryofme 24th-Sep-2012 12:14 pm (UTC)
i dont really like moments, but i like ed in general. moments was just kind of lack luster for me as a song. + is betterthough, and lego house is perfect imo.
wits 24th-Sep-2012 12:40 pm (UTC)
omg i thought i was the only one
biene 24th-Sep-2012 12:12 pm (UTC)
i dont understand the love for Ed Sheeran
thetrustoryofme 24th-Sep-2012 12:18 pm (UTC)
i think he's a decent singer and song writer, but his stuff tends to be hit or miss with me. there is never a song that i am undecided on, which makes listening to + as an album difficult.

PS I LOVE FOOTBALL AND LIVERPOOL NOW! thanks for your help :)
biene 24th-Sep-2012 12:31 pm (UTC)
a few of his songs are alright but meh i couldnt listen to him all the time.

and YAY! im so proud especially getting you into LFC!
stevie would like to thank you with a kiss

wits 24th-Sep-2012 12:40 pm (UTC)
i find him really boring :(
omgitskatharine 24th-Sep-2012 01:13 pm (UTC)
mte. so fucking basic. also don't get the love for the A team. what a boring song that's trying desperately to be deep~~
omgitskatharine 24th-Sep-2012 01:15 pm (UTC)
mte. don't understand the love for that a-team song either. so damn bland.
guitarscreams 24th-Sep-2012 02:19 pm (UTC)
because over half are 1D fans who are obsessed with him because he's connected to 1D, and then there's the rest of us who do enjoy him. i'm not saying that's for everyone.. but i saw ed last week and it was full of screaming fans shouting shit about 1D to him.. it's like, wtf??? i didn't even know those two were connected tbh
rebeljean 24th-Sep-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)
Maybe this will help?

belkisa 24th-Sep-2012 03:03 pm (UTC)
me neither
yinker 24th-Sep-2012 12:57 pm (UTC)
oh yay :). I just recently found out that he wrote Moments and it made so much sense. It's one of the best songs on the cd, alongside Stole My Heart- that song is my JAM!!
autumn1234 24th-Sep-2012 08:21 pm (UTC)
Something about Stole My Heart will not settle right with me. I like it, I jam to it. But it gives me weird vibes. No one sounds right in it, and for some reason it makes me think of "ALL AROUND THE WORLD, WE GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD" from the Cheetah Girls..
sylarsexypants 24th-Sep-2012 01:06 pm (UTC)
Idk who Ed Sheeran really is but he's an awfully cute ginger
sereniti_ii 24th-Sep-2012 01:14 pm (UTC)
He's adorable. Cold Coffee and The A-Team are my favorite songs of his. Considering his darker subject material, however, it's kind of weird that he's collaborating with 1D.
actrisse 24th-Sep-2012 01:18 pm (UTC)
I saw him last night in Philly and he was phenomenal. He is so much fun and has such a great voice.
swiirl 24th-Sep-2012 01:27 pm (UTC)
Sometimes, it blows my mind he is associated with 1d
adoptazehbrah 24th-Sep-2012 01:29 pm (UTC)
I adore Ed. Saw him in Orlando earlier this month, he was fantastic. And I love Moments, so I can't wait to hear the new collaboration with 1D. :)
Mary Magee 24th-Sep-2012 03:35 pm (UTC)
I saw him at HOB, too. It was amazing!
adoptazehbrah 24th-Sep-2012 05:12 pm (UTC)
Yeah, it was definitely one of the best concerts I've ever been to. :)
digipacopr 24th-Sep-2012 01:30 pm (UTC)
LOVE Ed. Kiss Me is.... kklsdjkladjkahhalshdakj... that song.
yinker 24th-Sep-2012 01:50 pm (UTC)
my feels exactly
autumn1234 24th-Sep-2012 08:38 pm (UTC)
My boyfriend doesn't care for Ed, but I made him a CD with that song on it and he almost always has it playing. I don't know how anyone can dislike that song.
loulita 24th-Sep-2012 01:39 pm (UTC)
i find ed sheeran to be one of the most boring singers around at the moment.
flinkkamingo3 24th-Sep-2012 01:51 pm (UTC)
title or description
wheezy_wazlib 24th-Sep-2012 01:53 pm (UTC)
Yay

I can't believe I missed Ed when he was here in Orlando, smh
princssnikki2 24th-Sep-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
I missed him when he was in OH. I'm still mad that I got conned into working that night.
