Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has provided One Direction with love songs for their new album, the follow-up to Up All Night.

The Lego House singer wrote tracks for the boy band’s first record, and due to popular demand he is set to team up with the One Thing hitmakers again.

Speaking to MTV, he said: "I wrote the three tracks that I gave [them] ... when I was 17 and they were on my hard drive for a long time.

''And then I gave them one song for their last album and they came back and said, 'Do you have any more?' and I said, 'Here's a whole load. Take your pick.'''

The majority of Ed's songs may have been inspired by a former girlfriend, however, he admits that it was a great relationship.

Sheeran added: ''17-year-old Ed just wrote a lot of love songs, so expect to hear a lot of love songs on their album, I guess.

''I had a wicked girlfriend at 17. ... She was great. Actually [my] album is pretty much about her. So she spawned off a lot of songs.''
