Ed co-wrote and co-produced the track along with longtime collaborators Johnny McDaid (“Shape of You”) and FRED (No.6 Collaborations Project).  There’s also a music video, which was directed by Dave Meyers.

 

Prior to the release of Bad Habits, Ed blessed us with an acoustic preview.

In a statement Ed writes, “Feels great to be back with my new single.  I wanted the video for ‘Bad Habits’ to play on the nature of habits in a fantastical way so I decided on vampires. It was mega fun getting into character except for the heights (that wasn’t so fun). Enjoy x.”

 

Ed also thanked his fans on Instagram for their support, “So glad you guys love the song as much as I do. I haven’t felt this much fan love on a first single before, so I’m over the moon you dig it. More announcements coming soon but for now enjoy ya weekend and bad habits out now xx.”

It’s safe to say everyone is a fan of Bad Habits, including Taylor Swift who tweeted, “I legitimately cannot get it out of my head.”

 

 

Ed also played a special Euro 2020 gig at the home of Ipswich Town for TikTok.
