Ed Sheeran wrote 'Photograph' in just ten minutes

Ed Sheeran says he penned the track 'Photograph' in just ten minutes.

The song features on the Brit's massive 2014 album 'x'.

Speaking to Capital FM, the singer-songwriter said he coined the tune alongside Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid in a matter of minutes whilst on tour.

Sheeran said: "I was in a relationship for about a year and a bit and I had left to go on tour with Snow Patrol for three months and then another further two months on my own tour.

"I wrote it in Kansas City and finished it in Denver, and it was just about being away on that tour. It was a random experience how it came about.

“I wrote it with Johnny from Snow Patrol and he just had a loop on his laptop that he just put down that was just a three-note piano thing and I just started singing over that 'loving can hurt, loving can hurt', and then the song just kinda fell out within about ten minutes. It was pretty cool.”
