It Actually Turned Out A Lot Nicer Than What Was Going On At The Time The Lyrics Aren’t Too Mental. That Came At The End Of A Lot Of Things Meeting. After That I Was Fine. Writing That Song Sorted Everything Out." Sheeran Said That "I'm A Mess" Is His Favorite Track From ×.

The Album Was Due For Release On 17 February 2014 But Sheeran Got "the Opportunity To Work With Rick Rubin For Two Months Which Wasn't Going To Say No To" Which Led To A Delay.

Sheeran Stated That He "started Off Making Another Acoustic Record And It Turned Into A Neo-Soul-Funk Record" Due To The Influence Of Working With Producers Like Rubin And Benny Blanco That "pulled Out Of Comfort Zone". Getting Into The Studio With Rubin To "rerecord All The Songs" After Two Years Of Writing Them Made The Songs Sound "raw And Interesting" At A Time When Sheeran Was Getting Tired Of Them Giving Him A Chance To "actually Set Up The Album Instead Of Just Putting It Out".
