Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You(Lyrics Video) ((INSTALL))
According to Sheeran, Steve Mac started the songwriting session by playing the opening notes of the song on the keyboard. Sheeran then joined in, adding percussion by tapping on the guitar, layering it onto the track. On the writing of the song, he said that he tried to keep the music "more stripped" instead of something more elaborate: "I'm an acoustic artist, first and foremost. And when I play live, I can't replicate these things, I haven't got all the other musicians." Sheeran said he wanted an R&B feel to the song, therefore he adjusted the original tune, adding an interpolation of "No Scrubs" onto part of the melody. He also revealed that the original lyrics did not end with the words "the shape of you" in the chorus, but during the writing of the song, McDaid thought that the lyrics "I'm in love with your body" sounded objectifying, and the lyrics was therefore adjusted.[12][10] In a March 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Sheeran revealed that he had attempted to get a Jay-Z guest verse; however, the American rapper declined, stating that he "doesn't think the song needs a rap verse".[13]

In the chorus, Sheeran allows us to spend more time observing from his perspective. He sings, "I'm in love with the shape of you." Is he also in love with her? He doesn't seem to be so at first. This is purely physical attraction.
Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" is a very catchy track with lyrics about how a bar hookup grows into a potential relationship, according to Genius. Sheeran sings about a woman approaching him while he drinks with his friends. In the chorus, the encounter ends up in the bedroom, and the singer describes the intensity of the initial attraction. Sheeran croons, "I'm in love with the shape of you / We push and pull like a magnet do / Although my heart is falling too / I'm in love with your body."
But Sheeran's not just a romantic. He's also sexual, thus the chorus. He likes your smell on his bedsheets and your unique shape (note the lack of heteronormative specifics: tiny itty-bitty waist, voluminous breasts). But while the chorus is wildly sensual, Sheeran still wants you to know he's a sweet guy who's interested in both body and mind: "We push and pull like a magnet do/Although my heart is falling too."
I'm in love with the shape of youWe push and pull like a magnet doAlthough my heart is falling tooI'm in love with your bodyAnd last night you were in my roomAnd now my bedsheets smell like youEveryday discovering something brand newI'm in love with your body
