Sheeran said that the song was "inspired by the whole movie, just wanting to be sad, yet euphoric and lift people a little bit."[2] The film, about a teenager dying of cancer who falls in love with another teen cancer patient, deals with the importance of love in the face of death.[3]

In 2014, Sheeran would join singer Christina Grimmie for a famous duet of the song on the season 6 finale of The Voice.[4]
