Ed Sheeran revealed that a song on his new album Play almost became another big collaboration with Justin Bieber. Sheeran still has a recording with Bieber, but for now it “just exists in the ether.”“I wrote it for = and then it ended up being a duet with Justin Bieber for Justice, and then it never materialized,” Sheeran said. Explaining the meaning of Camera, Sheeran shared that it’s about how many of life’s best moments aren’t caught on video—and how that can make them feel even more special. Another song on Play, Old Phone, carries a similar theme of nostalgia. Inspired by turning on his old phone for the first time in years, it took Sheeran on an emotional trip through old messages and photos, some from friends who have since passed away.
