" Ed Sheeran has been busier than one of Santa&amp;#039;s elves this last year\u2014as well as writing over 100 tracks for his second album Multiply, he&amp;#039;s also been writing tracks with more artists than we can name.  But if you&amp;#039;ve been wondering whether he&amp;#039;s got any tracks with One Direction hidden up those tattooed sleeves of his, it sounds like you might just be in luck. Well, as long as they don&amp;#039;t invite him to a group writing session, that is. Ed opened up to our friends at Sugarscape about how he decides who to work with: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very open, I think you can create good music with anyone. Even if they don&amp;#039;t have anything to do with it, you can still make a good song,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Like with the songs I wrote for One Direction, they didn&amp;#039;t write on them but can sing well on them, so that still makes it a good song, I guess.&amp;quot;  But while he didn&amp;#039;t end up writing anything on Midnight Memories, you might want to keep those fingers crossed for album four, as it sounds like Simon Cowell has already been buttering him up to write a little something for 1D&amp;#039;s next album. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t get a phone call for album three, but I saw Simon Cowell at Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent and we&amp;#039;ve worked it out and next record, we&amp;#039;ll see,&amp;quot; Ed added. So would he sit down and do some writing with the 1D boys this time? &amp;quot;No,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what I could do with five people in a room. If it was one-on-one, if I wrote five different songs, one with each of them, then it would work, but I&amp;#039;m a control freak when it comes to writing songs and too many cooks doesn&amp;#039;t work.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d want it to go in a certain direction\u2014no pun intended\u2014and everyone has an opinion and I wouldn&amp;#039;t want it dragged all those different ways,&amp;quot; he continued.&amp;quot; So yes, I would work with each of them individually, but not five of them at once.&amp;quot; To be fair, we&amp;#039;d like an excuse to spend some quality time with each member individually, too, and we don&amp;#039;t know about you but if that involves five tracks half as good as &amp;quot;Little Things,&amp;quot; we are SO in.
