Fans may be eagerly listening to Ed Sheeran\u2019s new album, Autumn Variations, but the Lego House singer has admitted he doesn\u2019t love all of his songs.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old, who recently revealed he got too high with Snoop Dogg, is known for his moving love songs as well as fast rap moments.<\/p>\n
Overall his image is fairly wholesome, with the artist shying away from the spotlight when possible and helping support younger singers in the industry.<\/p>\n
Ed had found success with hit after hit but even a four-time Grammy winner has to admit when a song shouldn\u2019t have been released.<\/p>\n
He revealed in a new interview that he regrets releasing The Man, which featured as a promotional single from his album X from 2014.<\/p>\n
Not every track can be Thinking Out Loud or even the A-Team but Ed confessed this one had made fans \u2018uncomfortable\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018It felt super uncomfortable at the time, writing it, and everyone I played it to reacted in an uncomfortable way, which I thought was a good thing, and I put it out,\u2019 he told GQ. <\/p>\n
The Man is about a bad breakup, with deeply personal and specific lyrics relating to cheating and an absent partner. <\/p>\n
In the final verse, he sings: \u2018Take my apology, I\u2019m sorry for the honesty\/But I had to get this off my chest.\u2019<\/p>\n
While Ed may have thought it was the right move at the time, now the Magical singer isn\u2019t so sure the track should have seen the light of day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The dad-of-two added: \u2018The album probably didn\u2019t need that song. I probably needed to write it, but I didn\u2019t need to release it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Despite his many tours since the song came out, Ed has only played The Man a handful of times, including once on the X tour in Dusseldorf \u2013 this was its second live play ever.<\/p>\n
The Man peaked at 87 on the UK chart, nowhere near the dizzy heights of Photograph, Bloodstream, and Thinking Out Loud. <\/p>\n
