Ed Sheeran has revealed that he was high on MDMA when director Peter Jackson texted him to ask if he would write a song for The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter admits he decided to try the drug for the first time while on holiday in Ibiza, attending his producer Jack Gosslings wedding.

He told Rolling Stone magazine: "If I was ever going to try it, it would've been there.

"I thought the text wasn't real, because I was like, 'Is everything just great today?'"

The 'Lego House' hitmaker, who went on to write the track I See Fire for the film, also spoke about his upcoming album, 'x', and claims he wanted raw, honest songs from the heart.

He explained: "When you hear that Kesha-Pitbull song, you know it's a hit, but it doesn't make you want to cry or laugh or sit in a corner for five hours just repeating it."

Meanwhile, Ed also recently revealed one track from his album 'Don't' is about an ex-lover and singer who cheated on him in a hotel with a friend while he was downstairs.

He said: "It's 100 percent not about Taylor [Swift]. Taylor's one of these people that if you p*ss her off and she writes a song about you, it's not good news for you.

"I've never dated Taylor. I've dated a few singers, though."
