About “Little Lady”

Before the release of + (plus), Ed played a gig at a homeless shelter where he met a girl named Angel who had done a lot of drugs. She inspired the lines “It’s too cold outside for angels to fly” and “her face seems slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries.”

“Little Lady” was the much darker and less radio-friendly version of Sheeran’s hit song “The A Team”. It features rapper Mikill Pane and appears on Ed Sheeran’s No. 5 Collaborations Project EP which was released early 2011.
