Recording artist Ed Sheeran arrives to New York Federal Court as proceedings continue in his copyright infringement trial, Monday, May 1, 2023, in New York.He testified his producers came to refer to "Thinking Out Loud" as Sheeran's Van Morrison tune because of the similarities and influence Sheeran said the Northern Irish singer provided.
Sheeran also played some of "Thinking Out Loud" on Thursday, the most recent day of the trial, when he discussed its creation process. The song was co-written by singer-songwriter Amy Wadge in February 2014, he testified, saying he heard her playing some chords from another part of the house and telling her they needed to use it for a song.

Sheeran won a copyright infringement case last year involving "Shape of You," while Gaye's heirs, who are not involved in this current lawsuit, won a case in 2015 against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams involving "Got to Give it Up."
