Ed Sheeran has admitted he thought The A Team would be his "only hit". Before performing his 2011 debut single, Ed told the crowd: “I played this song that night in Inglewood at the Savoy. I thought this song would be my only hit. I was happy if it was my only hit, because I love this song. “I got in touch with him, and I was like, ‘We should sing this song together, I love this song.’
