THIS IS GETTING ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING

Ever since the song ‘18’ appeared on One Direction’s new album ‘Four’, Directioners have been furiously speculating who it’s about.

The super soppy love song, which was written by the oh so talented Ed Sheeran, harks back to a teenage romance, with the lyrics saying stuff like “I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18”.

JUST WHO COULD IT POSSIBLY BE REFERRING TO?

And now the beautiful flame-haired man himself Mr Sheeran has (somewhat) put us all out of our misery by chatting exclusively to Yahoo Celebrity about the background to the song.

Asked if he had someone specifically in mind when he wrote the track for the boys he said: “I kinda wrote it from their perspective.”

Hmm, we wonder which boy’s perspective *that* was? Like we couldn’t guess…

Ed previously told Capital that it was the first song he’d lined up just with them in mind, saying: “I’m really happy with the record that I wrote for them. It’s the first record I’ve actually specifically written for them.

“The other ones were my records that just didn’t make it only my album, just because I had too many slow songs. But this one, I remember I had a meeting with them and he said we need a song. And the day after I wrote it and sent it over, and they sound great on it! It’s good.

But the 23-year-old told us he’s not sure if the song will ever be anything other than an album track. He said: “I don’t know if they’re ever gonna use it cos they’re using songs that they wrote so we’ll see what happens.”
as if we didn’t know ;-)
