The Supermarket Flowers song was not for her
When Ed Sheeran dropped his third studio album “Divide” in 2017, fans thought The Supermarket Flowers from the album was about her, but it wasn’t.
While appearing in an interview back in 2017, Ed clarified that it was not for his mom but for his grandmom.
He described the song to be the most special on the record and explained how he ended up writing the song.
According to Ed, his grandmother was very ill during the time he was making a record and sadly passed away at the end of making the record, so he wrote the song as a tribute to her.
After her grandmother passed, they were clearing her hospital room and taking supermarket flowers from the windowsill, he captured the moment and that was how he came up with writing the song, he said.
