"First Times" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran from his fifth studio album = (2021), appearing as the third track on its tracklisting.
Sheeran wrote the song after he took the inspiration from drinking beer with his wife backstage at Wembley Stadium.
He shared that "First Times" was actually inspired by a quiet moment amid the chaos and heightened expectations of one of the biggest nights of his life—the evening he played Wembley Stadium.
After all the excitement, he says it was a simple moment with wife Cherry Seaborn that really made it all real.
"You go ‘I need to do this thing because this is what I think will be the making of me and this is going to be it’ when actually it's all around you and you just have to take it in sometimes.”[1] On 19 August 2021, Sheeran announced his fourth studio album, =, in which the song is listed on the tracklist.
