“Perfect” is a standout cut off ÷, which Sheeran is particularly proud of. “I think the song ‘Perfect’ is actually better than ‘Thinking Out Loud,'” he told Music Choice. “I think there was always a scare that ‘Thinking Out Loud’ would define me and define my career. So I, I wrote a lot of songs trying to beat it and I think I have beaten it.”
Sheeran and ‘Yoncé have history together. In 2014, the British crooner covered “Drunk in Love.” They also performed a Stevie Wonder tribute during a 2015 Grammy special and even teamed up for a “Drunk in Love” duet at the Global Citizen Festival in 2015.
