"Ed Sheeran has spoken about how taking ecstasy inspired one of his new songs. In an interview with Spotify the singer said that x album track &amp;#039;Bloodstream&amp;#039; is based on an experience he had during a holiday in Ibiza.  Asked about the song, he said: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know how much I can tell you about that. I&amp;#039;m not a massive drug-taker, but that song was written after an experience in Ibiza and it&amp;#039;s basically about all the feelings that I got from that time. &amp;quot;It was weird, because I haven&amp;#039;t taken it since, it was literally just a one-time thing.  &amp;quot;It was a wedding, and I was having a mojito, and my mate was like, &amp;#039;Do you want to try it, it tastes really bad if you put it in your mouth but I&amp;#039;ll just put it in your drink and it&amp;#039;ll be fine&amp;#039;. It was MDMA and I fell in love with a beanbag.  &amp;quot;I literally got home and bought six beanbags! During it all I felt a lot of things: I felt anxiety, I felt love, I felt warm, I felt a bit weird. And afterwards, you spend all day just thinking about what you&amp;#039;ve been through.&amp;quot;  Sheeran added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve only done it once and I&amp;#039;ve told my mum and dad about it, but I did actually go through two months where I&amp;#039;d been such a good boy for such a long time that I went and tried everything. &amp;quot;I found out I&amp;#039;m not missing much - that experience was probably the best out of all of them. I think alcohol&amp;#039;s a lot more fun.&amp;quot; Sheeran appeared to play down the claims via Twitter later on Friday (June 27). I keep reading quotes of things in the press that I&amp;#039;ve never said \u00E2\u20AC\u201D Ed Sheeran (@edsheeran) June 27, 2014 The 23-year-old is on course to score the fastest-selling album of the year with x, which sold 100,000 copies in its first 48 hours on sale.
