Following the courtroom victory, Sheeran minced no words about the stress that he and his co-writers had experienced due to the lawsuit. “I wanted to make a small video to talk about it a bit because I’ve not really been able to say anything whilst it’s been going on,” he began in a video posted to his Instagram (via E! News). “Whilst we’re obviously happy with the result, I feel like claims like this [are] way too common now and have become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there’s no basis for the claim,” he explained. “It’s really damaging to the songwriting industry,” Sheeran continued. “There’s only so many nights and very few chords used in pop music. Coincidence is bound to happen if 60,000 songs are being released every day on Spotify,” he noted.
While Sheeran was adamant that he did not “want to take anything away from the pain and hurt suffered from both sides of this case,” he wanted to dispel any notions that he was merely an entity. “I’m not a corporation. I’m a human being. I’m a father, I’m a husband, I’m a son.” He then wrapped the lengthy video by saying that he hoped “future baseless claims like this can be avoided.” And scene!
