Ed Sheeran testified in London's High Court over accusations his hit "Shape of You" contains song ideas stolen from a 2015 song called "Oh Why." During his testimony, Ed insisted he never "borrows" ideas from other artists without giving them credit, and when lawyers tried to argue that he only gives credit to his famous friends, Ed insisted he'd cleared parts of songs with "lots" of unknown artists. Ed also shared, "As I hear a beat, I hear a song and melody comes out. I write a lot of songs and if I haven't written a song within two hours, I see it as a failure," adding, "Almost all of my songs are written in under two hours." At one point one of the lawyers for the other side played Ed's song "Eraser," and said, "There's no way you wrote this in 30 minutes," to which Ed replied, "I mean, I did, so I don't know what you expect me to say." Read more with The Sun. Now, as part of the case, the prosecuting lawyers were supposed to play a clip of "Shape of You," but they mistakenly played one of Ed's unreleased track. Ed was shocked and said, "That's a song I wrote last January. How have you got that? I want to know how you got that."
