Shape of You#Music video

The song was the last song written for Sheeran's third album ÷.{{cite web|url= http://www.idolator.com/7654716/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you-rihanna|publisher= Idolator|date= 6 January 2017|access-date= 9 January 2017|title= Ed Sheeran Says That 'Shape Of You' Was Initially Meant For Rihanna|archive-date= 10 January 2017|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170110015036/http://www.idolator.com/7654716/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you-rihanna|url-status= live}} As he had recently written all the songs he wanted for the album, the song was therefore not intended to be included in the album. It was first written for Little Mix and then it was conceived as a duet between Rihanna and Rudimental, but the head of the record label convinced him to keep the song for himself.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8077771/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you-songwriting-process-interview |title=Ed Sheeran Breaks Down the Massive Success of 'Shape of You' |date=20 December 2017 |first= Nina|last= Braca |magazine=Billboard }} He said:

"['Shape of You'] is actually a really random one because I went in to write songs for other people with a guy called Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, and we were writing this song and I was like 'this would really work for Rihanna,'" he explained. "And then I started singing lyrics like 'putting Van the Man on the jukebox' and I was like 'well she's not really going to sing that, is she?' And then we sort of decided halfway through that we were just going to make it for me."{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7647615/ed-sheeran-new-song-shape-of-you-rihanna-interview|title= Ed Sheeran Debated Giving Rihanna's New Song 'Shape of You'|date=6 January 2017|access-date=9 January 2017|magazine=Billboard}}

According to Sheeran, Steve Mac started the songwriting session by playing the opening notes of the song on the keyboard. Sheeran then joined in, adding percussion by tapping on the guitar, layering it onto the track. On the writing of the song, he said that he tried to keep the music "more stripped" instead of something more elaborate: "I'm an acoustic artist, first and foremost. And when I play live, I can't replicate these things, I haven't got all the other musicians." Sheeran said he wanted an R&B feel to the song, therefore he adjusted the original tune, adding an interpolation of "No Scrubs" onto part of the melody. He also revealed that the original lyrics did not end with the words "the shape of you" in the chorus, but during the writing of the song, McDaid thought that the lyrics "I'm in love with your body" sounded objectifying, and the lyrics was therefore adjusted.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/video/arts/music/100000005469604/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html |title='Shape of You': Making 2017's Biggest Track |author=Taylor Beldy |author2=Alicia Desantis |author3=Alexandra Eaton |author4=Evan Grothjan |author5=Graham Rober |newspaper=The New York Times |date=19 December 2017 |access-date=24 December 2017 |archive-date=24 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224164406/https://www.nytimes.com/video/arts/music/100000005469604/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html |url-status=live }} In a March 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Sheeran revealed that he had attempted to get a Jay-Z guest verse; Jay-Z declined, stating that he "doesn't think the song needs a rap verse".{{Cite magazine |last=Hiatt |first=Brian |date=28 March 2023 |title=Ed Sheeran Wanted Jay-Z to Guest on 'Shape of You' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/ed-sheeran-interview-jay-z-sword-hot-sauce-bruno-mars-1234704439/ |access-date=28 March 2023 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}

In the song, Sheeran sings over a marimba-fueled percussive sway about a budding romance: "The club isn't the best place to find a lover, so the bar is where I go/ Me and my friends at the table doing shots drinking fast and then we talk slow", he sings. "Come over and start up a conversation with just me/ And trust me I'll give it a chance."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/hear-ed-sheerans-castle-on-the-hill-shape-of-you-w459340|title= Hear Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill and Shape of You|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=6 January 2017|access-date=6 January 2017}}{{cite web|title=Ed Sheeran Returns With Two New Tracks 'Castle on the Hill' and "Shape of You"|url=http://www.complex.com/music/2017/01/ed-sheeran-castle-on-hill-shape-of-you-divide|last=Espinoza|first=Joshua|website=Complex|date=6 January 2017|access-date=6 January 2017|archive-date=7 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107170909/http://www.complex.com/music/2017/01/ed-sheeran-castle-on-hill-shape-of-you-divide|url-status=live}} According to NT News, the song "tells the story of loved (or lusted) up Sheeran meeting a girl in a bar where he and his mates are doing shots."{{cite web|url= http://www.ntnews.com.au/entertainment/music/ed-sheeran-sings-about-sex-booze-and-elton-john-on-his-new-songs/news-story/ac77c71f83f3d08b0f8a9a60d7514144|date= 6 January 2017|access-date= 9 January 2017|publisher= NT News|title= Ed Sheeran releases sings about booze and Elton John in his new songs|archive-date= 30 October 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201030161059/https://www.ntnews.com.au/entertainment/music/ed-sheeran-sings-about-sex-booze-and-elton-john-on-his-new-songs/news-story/ac77c71f83f3d08b0f8a9a60d7514144?nk=bc14f1cf863ac6ecb1c3f4276b1db43c-1604074258|url-status= live}}

The song's lyrical rhythm drew some comparisons to the 1999 TLC hit "No Scrubs", particularly in the pre-chorus line, "Boy, let's not talk too much/ Grab on my waist and put that body on me". Kandi Burruss had told Bravo's Andy Cohen that the negotiations had started before the song's release for its interpolation but weren't finalized until afterwards. As a result, the composers of "No Scrubs", Kandi Burruss, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, and Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, received co-writing credits on "Shape of You".{{cite web|last=Nelson|first=Shamone|title=Why Kandi Burruss Says She Receives More Royalty Than Initially Discussed From Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You"|url=https://atlantablackstar.com/2018/03/07/kandi-talks-making-bank-ed-sheerans-shape-hit-song/|website=atlantablackstar|date=7 March 2018|access-date=11 December 2020|archive-date=1 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101025501/https://atlantablackstar.com/2018/03/07/kandi-talks-making-bank-ed-sheerans-shape-hit-song/|url-status=live}}

On 6 April 2022, the judge ruled that Sheeran had "neither deliberately nor subconsciously copied" Chokri's song. While there were "similarities between the one-bar phrase", the judge said that "differences between the relevant parts" of the songs were "compelling evidence that the 'Oh I' phrase" in Sheeran's song "originated from sources other than Oh Why".{{cite news |last=Savage |first=Mark |date=6 April 2022 |title=Ed Sheeran wins Shape of You copyright case |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61006984 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412184656/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-61006984 |archive-date=12 April 2022 |access-date=6 April 2022 |work=BBC}} After the win, Sheeran said: "I feel like claims like this are way too common now and have become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there's no basis for the claim. It's really damaging to the songwriting industry. There's only so many notes and very few chords used in pop music.

The music video opens with Ed Sheeran who is first seen sitting down in a lonely dark room save for the sunlight that shines beside him with footages featuring his love interest and fellow boxer (Jennie Pegouskie) and his upcoming match. As the song begins, we see Sheeran shadowboxing while Pegouskie is already at the gym ready for the workout. She hangs herself at the punching bag doing sit-up and stretches herself. A little while later, Pegouskie shadowboxes and punches a punching bag when Sheeran lately arrives at the training carrying a bag with him. After Sheeran places his bag at the closet, he proceeds to train himself for his upcoming match trained by a personal trainer along with Pegouskie who still warms herself up. Later, Sheeran and Pegouskie head out of the gym towards a restaurant while bonding each other. Upon arriving, the couple eat and share foods like canoodling over a fried chicken as they have an intimate conversation with each other, although their dialogue is entirely mute. Afterwards, Sheeran and his girlfriend ride a taxi and make out at the back seat while the taxi driver does not notice this as he is focusing on driving. Back at the gym, Sheeran and Pegouskie physically trained hard doing various training exercises. While training, the couple embraced each other and teach one other, eventually falling in love with each other in the process. Later, Pegouskie leaves a picture and a box to Sheeran in a closet and seemingly abandons him. The scene cuts back to Sheeran who discovers a picture and a black box both seen earlier with the latter containing a blue mouthguard featuring a "÷" symbol at the front. Realizing that his girlfriend had left him (unbeknownst to him, she already is at a passenger ship), He starts to search for her to no avail. In response to her disappointing departure, Sheeran lets out his frustration and proceeds to an intense workout that includes tire-flipping, shadowboxing, sit-up, running and push-up. Later, Sheeran participates a match he has anticipated throughout the clip but he unexpectedly encounters a Rikishi or a sumo wrestler (Yamamotoyama Ryūta), much to his shock. During the match, Sheeran is seen almost always avoiding Yama who constantly chases him and the latter fails to defeat the Rikishi. Sheeran ends up getting defeated and is thrown at the edge of the ring, crying in agony with the crowd encouraging him to stand up. Towards the end of the video, Yama wins the match but Pegouskie emerges the scene among the crowd flying into the ring with a karate kick in the air aiming towards Yama as the scene cuts to black with the text that reads “DIRECTED BY: JASON KOENIG”. Sheeran is last seen at the end of the music video struggling to get up while lying down on the floor, but he fails to do so.{{cite web|last1=Wiest|first1=Brianna|title=Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" Music Video Drops|url=https://www.teenvogue.com/story/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you-music-video|website=Teen Vogue|access-date=10 March 2024|date=30 January 2017}}{{cite web|last1=Schnurr|first1=Samantha|title=Ed Sheeran Transforms Into a Boxer in Love for "Shape of You" Music Video|url=https://www.eonline.com/news/825441/ed-sheeran-transforms-into-a-boxer-in-love-for-shape-of-you-music-video|website=E!
