Who said Taylor blocked One from being the first single? the first single was supposed to be "don't" but the label were worried about his "clean" image with a song that said "f**k" many times including in the chorus. I believe he was the one who said this in an interview. She told him that "One" was great but that he needed to come back with a bang and something that would get people talking, and "Sing" was the right song to do that. I'm trying to find the article, but the titles "Sing" and "One" are so generic that it's proving to be a bit difficult. Edit: Nevermind, I just found it. It was in an interview with The Telegraph:

I saw Ed live today. Ed played a new song. Let me try and see if it's already online.

I hate this, compared to Ed's other singles. Quite the opposite to me. I actually like this, when usually, I can't stand some of his music.

I saw Ed live today. Ed played a new song. Let me try and see if it's already online. This was hilarious. I was in the center towards the front. I saw him both nights (he did a different unreleased song that didn't make x the first night) and he was definitely more loose/high the second night. Also probably tired (he's playing 4 nights in a row in the Tri-State Area). He was barely singing at the end of Give Me Love and wobbling around, it was really funny.

This has definitely been a grower for me, just like "Thinking Out Loud" was. Didn't really like it at first but I'm coming around to it.

This song took a few listens to get on board with. I don't think radio would have given this a second thought/spin if it wasn't Ed Sheeran.

This was seen as the surefire hit of the album by both Ed and his label. He said around the time of the album launch that if the more aggressive numbers Sing and Don't didn't do well, they had this to turn to.

I was actually pretty worried about this song for a while because of the mediocre sales, but now it seems to have risen a lot and it's pretty stable. Hopefully this is the 3rd top 10 for him.
