The nostalgic “Castle on the Hill”, released in 2017 along with the album “Divide”, explores the singer’s feelings of maturation, where he tells of his own experiences from the past in a beautiful tribute to the city of Framlingham, in Suffolk, England, and to the symbolic “castle that stands on the hill”, which gives the song its name.
4. Shape of You
Among all the hits of Ed Sheeran“Shape of You” has been the most successful since its release in 2017, also on the album “Divide”. Adding Spotify streams to YouTube views, the song has accumulated more than 10 billion listeners playing it over the years. Its lyrics focus on physical love, which is demonstrated by an intense music video focused on fighting.
5. Bad Habits
“Bad Habits” has darker lyrics than the singer’s other songs. The song addresses addictions and how they can control a person’s life, demonstrated through a kind of metaphor in the music video, with the singer and other actors becoming “monsters” at dusk, adopting a different personality.
