“My bad habits lead to wide eyes starin’ at space, and I know I’ll lose control of the things that I say,” Sheeran sings on the chorus, shortly before affirming a familiar piece of advice: “Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true,” he sighs. Uzbek artist Musofir’s 2016 album was named Bad Boy. Bad boy also has tremendous international appeal in music, from 1987 reggae track Bad Boy by Inner Circle to the 2018 Kpop hit Bad Boy by Red Velvet.

The ‘Bad Habits’ of the title don’t refer to Sheeran’s propensity for writing songs as shamelessly cynical as 2017’s ‘Galway Girl’, but to overdoing things a bit when he goes out. Instead, the first single from his fifth album – expected later this year, though it hasn’t been announced yet – is a rather darker affair.
