<p>Ed Sheeran revealed that his wife Cherry Seaborn is his secret weapon when choosing songs to release, saying she has "very good taste."</p>
<p>On the most recent episode of Not Gonna Lie, a podcast hosted by Kylie Kelce, Sheeran said he only plays new music for his wife when she is in a good mood. Otherwise, if she has an underwhelming reaction, he'll consider the song "dead."</p>
<p>He added, "Cherry can kill a song."</p>
<p>The British singer said that he often writes a lot of music in a week, but Seaborn has the ability to sift through the songs with ease.</p>
<p>"When "Bad Habits" was written, I'd written a bunch of other songs that day," Sheeran recalled. "And I remember I came home, I had listened to them all in the car and I was kind of excited about most of them and I played them to her and she was like, 'That one, that 'Bad Habits' one. That's the one you should finish tomorrow.'"</p>
<p>Sheeran said Seaborn also took a liking to "Shivers," which eventually reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, "Bad Habits" peaked at No. 2 on the chart.</p>

<p>Sheeran is currently on the road for The Mathematics Tour, in support of his past albums Equals and Subtract. His new album Play comes out Sept. 12.</p>
