During the candid Q+A, the Bad Habits hitmaker admitted he would never make music just to keep his "fanbase happy".
He explained: “If I made my first album [2011's +] again just to make my fanbase happy, I wouldn’t be excited. And if I’m not excited, the result won’t connect. I have to be obsessed with the music first.”
Sheeran also reflected on the importance of portraying both the highs and lows of his life and marriage to Cherry Seaborn.
He explained: “Cherry knows I write about everything — not just the good stuff. Songs like Perfect exist, but so do the ones about real conflict. That’s part of any relationship, and I think it’s important to be honest about it."
To promote Play, Sheeran is set to embark on the Loop Tour in December 2025 across Europe and Oceania.
