You Need Me, I Don’t Need You

You Need Me, I Don’t Need You

Ed Sheeran

“You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” is the tenth track off of Ed Sheeran’s debut studio album, +. This song, often played as a high-energy finale (or something close to the last song) at many of his shows, sometimes consists of other, longer verses and guitar/loop pedal interludes. At his iTunes 2012 live performance, the song went on for nearly 20 minutes.

This song is about record companies, Ed Sheeran is making a point about how the record company needs him and his talent to make money however he doesn’t need them to make money.
