Ed Sheeran doing a cover? Surely not!
Ed Sheeran is arguably our favourite person of 2017 so far.
He's given us two amazing new songs and has just announced that he'll be releasing his next album '÷' in March.
But one of the songs on that upcoming album has got fans buzzing, but not for the reason you might expect.

No, it's not because it sounds incredible (we haven't even heard it yet), but the track 'Galway Girl' has gained comparisons to another song of the very same name.
After the track listing for the album was announced, fans instantly began to get excited thinking that 'Galway Girl' was going to be a cover of Steve Earle's classic 'The Galway Girl'.

If Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl is a cover i'll be so gassed omds

Whilst that song is undoubtedly a massive tune, we're not convinced that Ed is going to be including a cover of it on his album...surely.
We don't know that for sure, but as we're talking about one of the most gifted songwriters of our generation here, we're pretty sure he's capable of writing his own song called 'Galway Girl'.
And we guarantee it's gonna sound incredible.
