The story behind the song

"Tenerife Sea" is a love song inspired by an experience Ed Sheeran had after the 2013 Grammy Awards. Feeling out of place and competitive at an after-party, he realized he just wanted to be with one person: his girlfriend. The song captures this feeling of finding comfort and beauty in a partner amidst a chaotic environment. The title itself refers to the striking blue of his girlfriend's eyes, which he describes as "seriously blue, like electric blue," and the lyrics praise her appearance in her dress. It plays as an intimate ode to the singular focus of true affection.
