In March 2017, Sheeran revealed to Us Magazine (opens in new tab) that his hit song "Perfect" was inspired by Seaborn. He said, "The line that goes, 'Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song' was about when we were in Ibiza listening to Future’s March Madness literally not wearing any shoes and going mental on the lawn, which was quite a nice time."
