This song is about the so-called "Beautiful People," a term for those who move in fashionable or glamorous circles. Inside the world of beautiful people Champagne and rolled-up notes Prenups and broken homes Surrounded, but still alone Let's leave the party Ed Sheeran prefers to remain true to himself - he does not fit in with those who are obsessed with material things and stature. In 2016 the pop star took a year-long hiatus and social media break; during this time he traveled the world and met people, forging real person-to-person connections.
Khalid joins Sheeran on the song. He too feels uncomfortable in the beautiful people's world of glamour and excess. We don't fit in well, we are just ourselves I could use some help gettin' out of this conversation Rather than trying to fit in with the L.A. party culture, Khalid finds refuge in real relationships.
Speaking of their collaboration, Sheeran said: "Khalid's got an undeniable, soulful voice and I knew he would be perfect for this track. I think we both connect to the song in the same way, and I'm really happy we got to work together."
