Very mediocre but that means it'll probably be a gigantic hit

Third Friday in a row with a major release.
This is a cute little song. Nothing really stands out but Pop and AC radio will eat this up.

This songwriting feels really amateur for Ed.
I like how long the chorus is though.

This is just ok. I have no strong feelings about this, which I guess is an improvement for Justin considering I don’t really like a majority of his songs.

This is so horribly bland and uneventful. It is the musical equivalent of a couch.

First we get Taylor, then Shawn, now Ed and Justin. Radio will be overplaying these songs the next couple of months.

Such a nice song. I like it! The only thing that bothers me a bit is the "oh oh oh" part in the chorus but it's not that disturbing that it tears the song down.

I can't believe the same man who produced co-wrote & produced NTLTC is part of this song.... Such a bland, generic, boring production. Not to mention the "whohooos" in the chorus which sound annoying and desperate to make the song catchier.

I love the Max & Shellback team but i think they are a bit confused with the new trends in production. It's cool that they want to step out of the huge instrumentals & explosive choruses , but if you have a simple beat , you have to add something somehow. That"s what makes BUWYG,IB work, the productions is simple but and doesn't evolve much , but there are so many vocal layers, harmonies & echos that fill up that space.

Something similar with "I'll Be Missing You" by Puff Daddy. Needs to listen to this song several times to start liking it. Summertime hit.

It feels like it should - very average, but Ed Sheeran is a very average songwriter, which is the reason heś so popular, so keep giving us these cheesy million-times heard riff-pop songs, because if you will try to produce something with meaning, your career might end very quickly(a la Clarkson, Perry or Swift). And in the 80ies pop chart was full of major talent - Prince, Genesis, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson siblings, even Madonna - where are today's music legends in the pop chart - Sheeran and Bieber - are music magazines gonna write about these dudes in 20 years time?

IDK 'bout Bieber, but they will write about Ed, be sure of that. Also, didn't know that If you don't have #1s your career is over. This song will be massive af, especially in Europe. In the US, this might have a chance If Lil Nas doesn't release a MV.

Is this for a new album of one of theirs, or just a random one off?
It’s middle of the road like a Maroon 5 song, but that also means it’s pleasant to listen to and should do well at radio.

He (Ed) was working for quite a while with Max & Shellback on new music. Maybe this is a leftover that didn't make the cut for his new album.

On first listen I was thinking "What is this Disney esque kids music track"... However after a second listen and just listening to the song and not expecting anything I ended up liking it. It's innocent, peppy and pretty catchy. I have a feeling it may do well. Usually when Pulse is ripping these type of songs they end up doing well so maybe it's a good sign for it?

Girl gone! A "Shape of You" retread with an uncredited sample ("Turn Me On") that Chris Brown has already done better (and credited it).
