Ed Sheeran In Trouble for Writing Hit One Direction Songs

Ed Sheeran has revealed that he ended up in hot water with his record label when they discovered that he had written hit songs for One Direction. The 23-year-old singer wrote Little Things and Moments for the chart-topping boyband and has admitted that he went against his label's wishes. According to Sheeran, Atlantic Records were “annoyed” that his best-performing song had been recorded by someone else. “I wasn’t gonna do it… basically my record label got very annoyed that my first number one was a song that I gave to someone else, and they were kind of like, ‘Don’t do it’.” Ed initially turned down the request to write a song for the band’s new album Four he told Australian radio station Nova, but that then he got the idea for a song in Copenhagen. “I just got an idea and I went in the shower room, where it’s big and reverberative and wrote it. I was like, ‘That sounds like a song that would be perfect for them’ and sent it across,” he revealed. “It’s one of these songs that I wouldn’t have used for myself; it was written specifically for them."
