Love In Slow Motion

Ed Sheeran grew up in the provincial Eastern England town of Framlingham, Suffolk. In 2008, he moved to London to pursue his music career, playing small venues and busking. As Sheeran's career prospered, he spent most of his time touring or in his London home, but also bought a property near Framlingham. After marrying Cherry Seaborn in January 2019, the superstar announced he would be semi-retiring to his Suffolk estate. Here, Sheeran sings of enjoying the slower pace of life with Cherry in his rural abode.

And I wanna love tonight One on one by the candlelight Over and over, we spend our lives Living fast forward but not tonight Love in slow motion In London, there's always something going on. But once Ed and Cherry moved to their Suffolk estate full-time, they could enjoy each other's company more. "We would start having evenings where it was like, 'Oh man, this is really nice. How are you?'" Sheeran told Apple Music. "'Love in Slow Motion' is basically about switching all of that off and enjoying each other's company and realizing why you love each other."

Sheeran recorded "Love in Slow Motion" for his Equals album. It is one of several tracks on the record inspired by his relationship with Cherry. Others include "2step," "The Joker And The Queen," and "First Times."
