"Hearts Don't Break Around Here" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. It was included on his third studio album ÷ (2017), appearing as the ninth track.[1] After the album's release it charted at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, despite not being an official single.[2]
The song is a slow ballad written by Sheeran with Johnny McDaid.[3] It was one of a number of songs they wrote together in a writing session, including "Eraser".[4] According to Sheeran, the song is his favorite on the album and he produced the song himself. The song was written about a girl he knew at school. He described it as being like a singer-songwriter version of "mumble rap" in that it is fluid and not structured, like a stream of consciousness. The chorus of the song was originally intended for a song for James Blunt but one he had forgotten about. He later found the voice note for the chorus, and wrote the lyrics for it.[5]
