Ed Sheeran admits he was 'jealous' of Alex Warren's hit song Ordinary

Ed Sheeran was "jealous" of Alex Warren's mega-hit Ordinary.

The 35-year-old singer made the admission when he and the 25-year-old artist performed a duet of the 2025 track during Ed's Loop Tour gig at Petco Park in San Diego on Tuesday (21.07.26).

Ed explained to the crowd: "I met someone last year who released a song that I was jealous of. I loved the song.

"I got in touch with him, and I was like, 'We should sing this song together, I love this song.'

"He sent me an email yesterday, and he said, 'Can me and my family come to your gig in San Diego?'

"And I was like, yes, but I would like to sing with you."

Ordinary spent 11 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the UK chart, marking the longest-running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in more than 70 years and the joint longest-running No.1 of the 2020s, tied with Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits.
