The 'Sing' superstar recorded the 5 Seconds Of Summer hit 'She Looks So Perfect' as part of his live session for Capital on Sunday (29th June), and the boys spoke to us after hearing it for the first time.
"That was literally crazy when we found out because we started out covering his songs and he's such a massive inspiration for our songwriting, because he's such a great songwriter," Calum Hood told Capital. "He was the first gig I ever went to, in Sydney, so it was just an amazing feeling.

"He's just so cool. He really puts a genuine spin on songs," Ashton Irwin added, while Luke Hemmings told us: "I think anything that Ed Sheeran touches is incredible."
