This is the third track from Ed’s fourth studio album, =.
The song drives over an acoustic guitar (which isn’t rare for Sheeran), and explains his first times doing many things as a newly adult, an example could be with the very first line e.g: “I thought it’d feel different, playin’ Wembley”, dating to when his show in The Wembley Stadium sold out (more about that with the highlighted text).
The track was also produced by frequent collaborator, Fred Again.. , who has appeared as the producer of many big tracks, including those with rapper MIST, Singer/Songwriter George Ezra, and Little Mix. He appears on almost every single track on =.
Ed first premiered the release performing at HMV Empire, Coventry on August 25th 2021, alongside another unreleased track Overpass Graffiti, the 5th track from =. The song was also recorded during the recording sessions for his 2019 mixtape No.6 Collaborations Project, in Nashville 2018.

Lyrics Video
[Verse 1]
I thought it’d feel different, playin’ Wembley
Eighty thousand singin’ with me
It’s what I’ve been chasin’ ’cause this is the dream
When it was all over, I cleared out the room
Grabbed a couple beers, just me and you
Then we started talking the way that we do
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Chorus]
The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first drink, red wine, on a step in Brooklyn, I
Still feel the first fight, and we both made it out alive
And I can’t wait to make a million more first times
(Mmm, mmm)
[Verse 2]
The greatest thing that I have achieved
Was four little words, down on one knee
You said, “Darling, are you jokin’?”, and I just said, “Please”
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Chorus]
The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first look in your eyes when I said “I love you”, I
Can still feel the butterflies from when we stumbled home that night
I can’t wait to make a million more first times
(Mmm, mmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man?
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember
[Chorus]
The first kiss, first night, first song that made you cry
First dance in moonlight in your parents’ garden, I
Can’t wait to see everything that’s yet to be
Our first child and then a million more first times
