Not Just Another Sad Love Song: R&B Songs About Real-Life Heartbreak
Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t”
Ed Sheeran’s “Don’t” is about a female cheating and breaking his heart but when it comes to naming the woman that inspired the song, he decided to take the high road. Sheeran was asked to spill the beans on who the female muse was but he politely declined. “I think the particular song you are getting at, it was more about getting it off my chest and I think the positive thing was releasing those emotions,” Sheeran said.
