Sheeran begins "Shape of You" by describing the environment and letting us know that he's interested in love: "The club isn't the best place to find a lover / So the bar is where I go." Perhaps the bar is more conducive to discussion, but in any case, he goes there with his "friends" who are "at the table doing shots / Drinking fast and then we talk slow." They're moderately drunk or at least buzzed when Sheeran notices a women there. Many other pop artists make free use of this structure too. For example, The Weeknd's recent album Starboy employs this structure in over half of its songs. This particular structure is well known to pop music and appears in many songs. It is organized verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, chorus. Interestingly too, "Shape of You" follows a pop structure stereotype. Through this song, Sheeran hints at how sexual attraction can lead to a deeper relationship but doesn't explore that too much further, preferring to focus on the sexual attraction, which makes up the larger part of the theme of this song. Before long, the two people are dating the woman's body and the man's impetuosity bring them together. In "Shape of You," Ed Sheeran describes a relationship that begins at a bar and quickly leads to a bedroom.
