Know the Lyrics: Ed Sheeran Trivia Game | Music

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. From "The A Team": "Call girl, no _____." What word completes this lyric?

Answer: phone

"The A Team" was Ed Sheeran's first single from his first studio album, "+", which was released in 2011. The song is about a prostitute who is addicted to drugs. Despite the strange subject matter, the song went on to gain much success, leading to Ed's first Grammy nomination for Song of the Year.

He even preformed the song in front of Queen Elizabeth II during her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

2. From "Lego House": "And it's dark in a cold ____, but I've got you to keep me warm." What word should be placed here?

Answer: December

"Lego House" was also a part of "+". Like many of Ed's songs, it is a love song. However, the music video for the song takes a strange twist depicting a fan who is creepily obsessed with Ed. The fan is played by Rupert Grint of "Harry Potter" fame.

3. From "Sing": "Singing we found love in a local _____." What word fills in this blank?

Answer: rave

"Sing" was the first single released from Ed's second CD, "x", which is read as "multiply". This album came out in 2014. It was nominated for Album of the year at the 2014 Grammy Awards but lost to Beck's "Morning Phase". The album did win the 2015 People's Choice Award for Favorite Album.

4. From "Don't": "Before a _____ was the only way to reach her." What word(s) fill in this blank?

Answer: text message

"Don't" is from "x". This song, about a fling that didn't work out, is said to possibly be about the singer Elle Goulding. The year after "Don't" was released, Elle had a song come out called "On My Mind", which seems to make references to Ed and "Don't".

In his song, Ed sings about a hook-up in a hotel and how he and the girl make money the same way, meaning they are both singers. Then, in Elle's song she says, "Next thing that I know I'm in a hotel with you" and also mentions she likes the guy's tattoos, and Ed has tattoos. Of course, this is all speculative since neither singer has confirmed what their songs are about.

Answer: evergreen

"Thinking Out Loud" is also from "x". It is a slower love song. At the 2016 Grammy Awards, the song won Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. The music video features Ed dancing in a ballroom with Brittany Cherry, a contestant from the show "So You Think You Can Dance?".
