Before some of his biggest hits were his own, Ed Sheeran spent years writing and co-writing songs for other artists.
During the LOOP Tour, he performs a medley of some of those songs, including “Eastside” by Benny Blanco, Halsey and Khalid, “2002” by Anne-Marie, “Cold Water” by Major Lazer, “Little Things” by One Direction, and “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber.
“Little Things” was co-written by Sheeran and Fiona Bevan when he was still a teenager before One Direction eventually recorded it for Take Me Home in 2012.
He’s still writing for other artists today, too. Sheeran is also credited as a songwriter on Shakira and Burna Boy’s 2026 song “Dai Dai.”
