Ed Sheeran Says His Song 'Small Bump' Has No Pro-Life Affiliation

Back in 2012, Ed Sheeran released "Small Bump," a mid-tempo single off his debut album, +, which has a minor reference to a pregnancy that ends after four months. Flash forward to 2018 and the track is being used in a pro-life campaign, but the pop singer wants fans to know that he has no affiliation to the movement.

"I've been informed that my song Small Bump is being used to promote the Pro-Life campaign, and I feel it's important to let you know I have no given approval for this use, and it does not reflect what the song is about,” the 27-year-old star wrote in a Instagram Story, which was posted on Friday (May 18). Scroll on below to see his post in full. According to reports, the track was played by anti-abortion activists campaigning in Dublin's city center before Ireland's big referendum on abortion. Ireland's vote is scheduled for Friday and could potentially see a repeal of the eighth amendment of its constitution, which effectively bans adoration altogether.

If you're not familiar with the cut, the folks behind the campaign likely decided to choose the track to align with their campaign after the following lyrics: "'Cause you were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life/ Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why."
