Probably won't be the next single. It's too early.

The track is "How Would You Feel (Paean)". The length of the song, which is 4:40 min., appears in the pre-order of Γ· on iTunes. ETA: Also, he teased it on his interview with Ryan Seacrest early today, which you could watch it here. |

Ew. No! No, no, no! Another stripped down acoustic guitar song? NO! >:(
I know that his fans love it but come on! I had an impression that he was evolving as an artist and that he was moving his ballads into more emotional and bombastic teritory. I am sure that his fans will love this but please please don't let this be a future single...

Isn't this the last track on the album? (regular edition) Those are often different than the rest of the album so I wouldn't take it to indicate anything really. Besides, 1/3 acoustic guitar song isn't bad. His fans need something too.

He's not just going to make poppy little songs to please you. I agree, this is really pretty; the perfect word to describe this. This could definitely fit on +. Definitely my favorite of the three so far. |

He's not just going to make poppy little songs to please you. Christ man no need to be petty. That's why I said that his fans are going to love it, but let me have my own opinion. And my personal opinion is that most of his acoustic stuff from the past is underwhelming and I'd like a hitmaker like him to make something more engaging and memorable and less basic because, in my opinion, he is wasting his great talent on these stripped down tracks a street performer can write and sing. It's not even that I want him to sound poppy. I embrace his ballads as long as they sound memorable and convincing. This does not. |

I liked the song,it is pretty and it doesnt bother me Ed goes back to the basic and make acoustic songs on the album too.Besides John MayerΒ΄s solo was very good.

I've been listening to this over and over again, trying to eventually convince myself that I like this but... it just feels like it doesn't have any personality. maine I don't want him to make "poppy songs to please me", as you said. He made acoustic ballads that I like. From his biggest acoustic hits, I dislike "Thinking Out Loud" and I hate "The A Team" but I like "Photograph" or "I See Fire" . I shouldn't have said that I dislike his acoustic stuff in general, because that is not entirely true, but there is this specific kind of middle of the road ballads I dislike. And I wouldn't even point out Ed himself as the problem I have with them. I think it's mostly the intrumental part that sounds generic to me in this song or "Thinking Out Loud". I don't think Ed is such a powerful force of personality to make a song truly engaging without really engaging intrumental part to back it up. |

Debuts at #2 in the UK kicking Castle On The Hill out of the top 3, possibly replacing it as the hit Ed Sheeran ballad in there.
Ok now I really hate this song.

Not confirmed as an official single yet, but the track has been delivered to UK radio through HitDisc this week.
