What is the meaning behind “The club isn’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 And you come over and start up a conversation with just me And trust me I’ll give it a chance now”? Shape of You by Ed Sheeran

In a club, music is usually blaring at top volume and everyone is busy dancing, with little opportunity for actual conversation. While it’s possible to pick someone up at a club, it’s not a good place to find someone who you actually like and agree with and whose company you enjoy. Meanwhile, conversation comes easily after a few drinks at a bar. Alcohol is a common theme in Ed’s personal life. In 2015, Inquisitr reported he had gotten so drunk after his split with Athina Andrelos that he needed to be propped up by his friends, and his family was concerned about his drinking habits. When asked about Ed in his 2015 “Over/Under” interview with Pitchfork , DJ Khaled said: I took him, like, to four clubs. […] We had a blast. I'ma be real with you: nobody, nobody—I’m telling you now—nobody can party harder than Ed. Not happening. He go hard!
