Question: Who did the performer of Sing write Thinking Out Loud for?

full_context: Document 1: When I Was Your Man: ``When I Was Your Man ''was written by Andrew Wyatt, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, while production was handled by the latter three production - team The Smeezingtons. Having chord progressions Am - C - Dm - G - G7 - C (verse) and F-G-C (chorus), the song is written in the key of C Major, with Mars' vocals range from the low note of G3 to the high note of C5. The pop piano ballad finds Mars singing about a pre-fame heartbreak as he regrets letting his woman get away. It starts with a rolling piano riff; unto a nearly scat`` vocal cadence'': ``Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now / Our song on the radio but it do n't sound the same '', as he laments the`` single state'' he created for himself. Next, he sings of his failings; to do right by his woman, ``I shoulda bought you flowers / And held your hand / Shoulda gave you all my hours / When I had the chance ''. Its title phrase re-emerges in the final chorus, juxtaposed by Bruno from all the things he`` shoulda'' done, into things he hopes his ex's new man will do; concluding: ``Do all of the things I should have done / When I was your man ''. In an interview to Rolling Stone, Mars revealed, while reluctant, that he wrote the song for his girlfriend, model Jessica Caban, when he was worried about losing her. In contrast with the song, Mars and Caban stayed together; remaining a couple as of 2014. Mars also said, in the interview, that he finds it difficult to perform the song; saying:`` You're bringing up all these old emotions again,'' and that: ``It's just like bleeding! ''
Document 2: I Can't Make You Love Me: ``I Ca n't Make You Love Me ''was written by Nashville writers Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin, who were well - noted for their successes in the country music arena. The song was rewritten many times before being finalized, months later.`` We wrote, most every week, in Mike's basement,'' Shamblin told Peter Cooper in an interview with the Nashville Tennessean. ``And we'd worked on this song for more than six months. One day, he said, 'Come up to the living room,' where his piano was. He sat down and started playing this melody, and it was one of the most moving pieces of music I'd heard. I mean, it hit me in a hard way... Instantly, I knew it was the best thing I'd ever been a part of. ''Reid and Shamblin were both country music songwriters, who according to some accounts originally wrote the song as a fast, bluegrass number. Upon slowing down the tempo considerably, they realized the song gained considerable power and thought about giving the song to one of three artists: Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler or Linda Ronstadt. Eventually, the song made its way to Bonnie Raitt, who recorded the track for her eleventh studio album,`` Luck of the Draw'' (1991). Raitt co-produced the song with Don Was, while Bruce Hornsby provided a piano accompaniment.

At the same time I was tipped off about doing another track with Aloe Blacc, and I started working on that track. When I was with Mike Einziger from Incubus, we came up with the chord progression and the melody for 'Wake Me Up!' but (with) no real lyrics. None of us (could) sing and we really needed to get that demo down and the only person I knew that lived in LA was Aloe, so I called him and he was free. Lyrics come really easy to him so he wrote them in a couple of hours and we finished the track. ''
Document 13: The Long and Winding Road: Paul McCartney said he came up with the title ``The Long and Winding Road ''during one of his first visits to his property High Park Farm, near Campbeltown in Scotland, which he purchased in June 1966. The phrase was inspired by the sight of a road`` stretching up into the hills'' in the remote Highlands surroundings of lochs and distant mountains. He wrote the song at his farm in 1968, inspired by the growing tension among the Beatles. Based on other comments McCartney has made, author Howard Sounes writes, the lyrics can be seen as McCartney expressing his anguish at the direction his personal life was taking in the autumn of 1968, after he had separated from his fiancée Jane Asher, as well as a nostalgic look back at the Beatles' history. McCartney recalled: ``I just sat down at my piano in Scotland, started playing and came up with that song, imagining it was going to be done by someone like Ray Charles. I have always found inspiration in the calm beauty of Scotland and again it proved the place where I found inspiration. ''
