On 6 January 2017, when hosting The Radio 1 Breakfast Show, Sheeran revealed that `` Shape of You '' had originally been written with Rihanna in mind. As he had already written all the songs he wanted for the album, the song was therefore not intended to be included in the album. It was conceived as a duet between Rihanna and Rudimental, but the head of the record label convinced him to keep the song for himself. He said : `` ( ' Shape of You ' ) is actually a really random one because I went in to write songs for other people with a guy called Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, and we were writing this song and I was like ' this would really work for Rihanna, ' '' he explained. `` And then I started singing lyrics like ' putting Van The Man on the jukebox ' and I was like ' well she 's not really going to sing that, is she ? ' And then we sort of decided halfway through that we were just going to make it for me. '' According to Sheeran, Steve Mac started the song - writing session by playing the opening notes of the song on the keyboard. Sheeran then joined in, adding percussion by tapping on the guitar, layering it onto the track. On the writing of the song, he said that he tried to keep the music `` more stripped '' instead of something more elaborate : `` I 'm an acoustic artist, first and foremost. And when I play live, I ca n't replicate these things, I have n't got all the other musicians. '' Sheeran said he wanted an R&B feel to the song, therefore he adjusted the original tune, adding an interpolation of `` No Scrubs '' onto part of the melody. He also revealed that the original lyrics did not end with the words `` the shape of you '' in the chorus, but during the writing of the song, McDaid thought that the lyrics `` I 'm in love with your body '' sounded objectifying, and the lyrics was therefore adjusted. Promotion On 4 January 2017, Sheeran uploaded a six - second teaser video of a blue background to social media, with lyrics `` the club is n't the best place to find a lover '', which is the first line of `` Shape of You ''. To further tease the release, Sheeran and his label used a sponsored Snapchat lens filter with 30 seconds on the song to increase buzz among the general public. Composition `` Shape of You '' is a pop, dancehall and tropical house song with `` strummy acoustics. '' In the song, Sheeran sings over a marimba - fueled percussive sway about a budding romance. `` The club is n't the best place to find a lover, so the bar is where I go / Me and my friends at the table doing shots drinking fast and then we talk slow '', he sings. `` Come over and start up a conversation with just me / And trust me I 'll give it a chance. '' According to NT News, the song `` tells the story of loved ( or lusted ) up Sheeran meeting a girl in a bar where he and his mates are doing shots. '' `` Shape of You '' is written in the key of C ♯ minor with a tempo of 96 beats per minute. The song is composed in common time ( time ), and follows a basic chord progression of C ♯ m -- F ♯ m -- A -- B ( i -- iv -- VI -- VII ), and Sheeran 's vocals span from G ♯ to G ♯. The song 's lyrical rhythm drew comparisons to the TLC song `` No Scrubs '', particularly in the pre-chorus line, `` Boy, let 's not talk too much / Grab on my waist and put that body on me. '' As a result, the composers of `` No Scrubs '', Kandi Burruss, Tameka `` Tiny '' Cottle, and Kevin `` She'kspere '' Briggs, were awarded co-writing credits on `` Shape of You ''. Critical reception Jon Caramanica from The New York Times said, `` ' Shape of You ' is trickier, a nimble and effective song that takes the aggressive thinning of ' Caribbean music '. '' Billboard 's Taylor Weatherby wrote about the song saying, `` ' Shape of You ' does n't quite sound like your typical Sheeran tune. But that almost serves as an indication of what the `` Thinking Out Loud '' singer has been up to during his hiatus : creating music that still feels like Sheeran, just with a new twist. '' Jeremy Gordon of Spin gave the song a positive review, stating that the song `` is a plausible attempt at convincing us he has had sex... a lot of it. It kind of slaps, though you ca n't really picture Sheeran ever saying ' put that body on me ' to a real human woman. '' News website Metro wrote that it sounds similar to the song `` Cheap Thrills '' by Sia.
