The High Court mistakenly played an unreleased clip of Ed Sheeran's song during a copyright lawsuit against his song Shape of You.

When asked how his 2017 hit came about, the singer looked confused as he played the music. Sheeran looked at his lawyer and said, "This is a song I wrote last January. What made you think that way?"



Sheeran and his two Shape of You co-authors Steven McCutcheon and Johnny McDaid have argued with Sami Chokri and Ross O'Donoghue that the song copied parts of their track Oh Why, which Chokri released under the title Sa in 2015 meter switch.

Sheeran's lawyer, Ian Mill QC, told the court that Sheeran was "disturbed".
