Great work from the producers here. While they never abandoned the simple idea behind the song that started everything, they added enough stuff as well over it so there´s movement feel which avoids getting you bored while listening. Whenever I see the "making of" big pop hits like this that sound simple but at the same time really well produced and perfect in their own way, the hand of a spot on producer helping with those important details is always there. (And not only people are capable of grasping them at first listen). Good video!

I honestly think that the only reason this song is as big as it is right now is solely because it’s Ed Sheeran. His name is known internationally. He’s big.

If you want to look at it in other way, what makes a record company, media, etc. to choose this track to be promoted and boosted and not others? They somehow might see beforehand they can have a good impact when they are released (Althgough maybe not as big as "Shape Of You" ended up being)

And i disagree that the success is just reasoned with eds fame, neither is every song of him an enormous hit nor was he born as a famous singer and songwriter.

The animation in the video highlighted the music so well. It really helped the narrative. Awesome to see this “how it was made” video. 👍🏻

​@Sean Callahan Not everything is made to be complex. You can't expect every song to have weird chord progressions and cadences and be written in complex time signatures.Sometimes songs are made to be simple and simplicity doesn't inherently reduce the value of any piece of art....And yes,while the song structure might be generic and the theme of the lyrics might have been used a million times before,this song adds a new perspective to the table and having more perspectives is never a bad thing. Moreover,almost every song regardless of genre has something unique to offer.Even when its a song where you hate 90% of the elements,there might just be a background synth sound or a guitar buried in the mix that can inspire you.

it’s 2021 now and this song has 5.3 billion views on KZread. I love how they used “shape of you” as a more positive/love-able thing

as a late-blooming songwriter but lifelong musician I find this video inspiring and informative. taught me a lot about how simple layers can create a global superhit. Trust me when I say this stuff is not easy. Honestly the song itself isn't my favorite of all time but I can't deny it's been stuck in my head since I FIRST heard it. This video, however, IS one of my favorite of all time. Nice job.

​@@andymccallum8090 yea we heard you were 17. You couldve stopped there

Amazing and beautiful how music is put together 🙏🏼🧡

Ok so I am not the only one to say this is beautifully produced and edited. It is extraordinary, worth of award attention. Bravo, NY TImes. And what a world we live in to be given this insight into the creative process.

Awesome to hear how Steve and Johnny contributed, and their anecdotes. Would love to see more stuff like this from the NYT. Music is about the entire journey...

The visuals are next level, like if you were to visualise the song, I don’t think there would be a better way than this! Keep this style of visualising the music for the rest of the diary of a song videos!

LOL needs to bring LEGO to keep Ed occupied, that is amazing :D

Derek Yu - that made me giggle 🤣 I swear not a quality I’d find attractive in most people, but here it’s adorable!

Such an amazing editing!

0:53 To go from that preset to the final version, so clean its amazing

Everytime I hear from Ed and I Feel warm.... love his voice....

It’s always super fascinating to me how artists can make something out of nothing you can visually see. Also, superb editing on this video!

I love learning how songs come to be from scratch!!

This video is very well edited, visually pleasing, and visually descriptive as well. Kudos to the editor!

Seeing this video 2 years after the release of Shape of You, it made me fall in love with the song again
