<p>Ed Sheeran knows his audience.</p>
<p>During the Thursday, July 10 episode of Kylie Kelce's podcast Not Gonna Lie, the "Perfect" singer spoke about playing his new music for his wife, Cherry Seaborn, to get feedback early in the process. Sheeran, 34, noted that there are certain windows when he should ask Seaborn, 33, for her thoughts.</p>
<p>"100 percent. Yeah, 100 percent," he said when asked about using his family as a sounding board. "Cherry can kill a song. She can. I'm actually really careful to play her songs when she's in a good mood. Because if she's like, 'Eh,' then in my mind, I'm like, 'Okay. That song's dead.' "</p>

<p>Sheeran added: "She's just got a very good taste and read on things. Like, even I would write, I'd say, three songs a day, five days a week. And I'll come home and I'll play them. And she can sift through that pretty easily."</p>
<p>Sheeran recalled writing the 2021 song "Bad Habits" along with several others that same day.</p>
<p>"I came home, I 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 noted that his wife also encouraged him in writing his hit "Shivers," as well as his recent single "Azizam" and another new song "Sapphire," both of which appear on his next record.</p>

<p>"She's got she's got a very good read on stuff," Sheeran added.</p>
<p>The pop star said that his daughters also have a "good read" on his music, which Cherry will play for them when he's touring.</p>
<p>"When I'm away, she'll play my songs to them to kind of, like, I don't know, introduce the music to them slowly," he said. "And it's interesting, the ones that they, like, gravitate towards. And it's definitely the ones that are, like that all kids have gravitated towards, I guess."</p>

<p>During an April appearance on Call Her Daddy, Sheeran spoke about how Seaborn keeps him grounded as he navigates fame.</p>
<p>"Cherry is the biggest grounding force. Like, anytime that anything is a little bit too Hollywood, she's like, 'Bro…' And especially because I grew up with her, there's always a lens of Suffolk over it," he said at the time.</p>
<p>The "Photograph" singer said at the time that his partner talked him out of building a bowling alley in their backyard. "She just doesn't want our kids growing up and it being like, you know, the Richie Rich house," he noted.</p>
<p>Sheeran's upcoming album, Play, comes out on Sept. 12.</p>
