Why Did Ed Sheeran Give Up Love Yourself?

Ed Sheeran doesn’t think “Love Yourself” would be “as big” if he hadn’t given it to Justin Bieber.

The “Bad Habits” singer recently revealed in a conversation with Jack Antonoff that “People always say, ‘Why didn’t you keep it?’ And to be honest, he was on such a roll at that point that I think it wouldn’t have been as big if I’d sung it. He had his whole period of his life that was a bit…you know what I mean…. And America loves a comeback story.”

Sheeran co-wrote the single alongside Benny Blanco and Bieber for the 2015 studio album, ‘Purpose’.
