"Galway Girl" is a song by English singer-songwriter

Irish folk band Beoga, and is heavily influenced by Irish traditional music.[5] On Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March 2017, Sheeran announced the song as the third single from his 2017 album ÷, accompanied by a lyric video.[6][7]

The song entered the charts of 31 countries around the world. It topped the charts in Ireland, Iceland, Slovenia, and Slovakia; reached number two in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Denmark, and Poland; and reached the top five on the charts of Germany, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.

"Galway Girl" was included on the year-end top singles charts of 17 countries, including the top five of Belgium, Denmark, Slovenia, and the UK; the top 10 of Australia, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, and Sweden; and the top 20 of Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Switzerland.

The song was certified Platinum or multi-Platinum in 13 countries.

Background

Sheeran wrote and recorded "Galway Girl" together with Irish band Beoga. The song incorporates parts of the tune "Minute 5" from their 2011 album How to Tune a Fish.[8] They decided to write the song after they had finished another song together at his house, and had some free time.[9]

In an interview with

Beats 1, Sheeran said:

I came up with this song with Foy, and Johnny, and Amy. We were recording in Suffolk and we were just sitting in the garden, and we had Beoga, this Irish folk band, come and [record] some other songs. And I was kinda like: Beoga would be here for two or three days, it would be a shame to waste them, shall we try and write another song? [...] Beoga came out tried to do some bits in it, we just didn't really know where to go. But they have a song called "Minute 5", which is that riff. So I just said: "Can you try that on it?" And they did, and it sounded brilliant, so we just kept it.[10]

In an interview with The Irish Times, Sheeran said that the opening line of the song, "She played the fiddle in an Irish band", was inspired by Niamh Dunne of Beoga. However, the rest of the song was made up and not about anyone in particular (Dunne is from County Limerick and married an Irishman and Sheeran, although English, is of paternal Irish descent).[9][11]

Sheeran was aware that American singer-songwriter Steve Earle had recorded a song with the same title in 2000; however, in a BBC interview, Sheeran said that his version is an original, and not a cover of Earle's song.[12] He also stated, "I actually tried to find another [title]. I did Wexford Girl, and Clonakilty Girl, and Cork Girl... None of them worked. But the whole point of folk songs is taking inspiration from the past and making something new – so people will just have to deal with it."[12][13] In a 2017 Dublin concert Sheeran played first verse and chorus of Steve Earle's song together with Beoga, followed by his own.[14]

Sheeran's record label did not believe in the commercial viability of the song, but Sheeran countered, "The Corrs sold 20 million records... Who's tried it since the Corrs? There's a huge gap in the market."[15]

Composition

"Galway Girl" is written in the key of F# minor in cut time with a tempo of 100 beats per minute. Sheeran's vocals span from E3 to F#4.[16][17]

Sheeran was introduced to Beoga's music through Foy Vance; Sheeran, who had written several Irish-styled songs for the album, invited Beoga to collaborate with him to help ensure an authentic sound. Eamon Murray of Beoga described the collaboration as being very productive, noting Sheeran's ability to create a pop hook that "gets into people's heads", and recalling his own astonishment at how quickly the songs were written. Of the approximately half-dozen songs resulting from the session, two of them, "Galway Girl" and "Nancy Mulligan", were included on the album. Murray said that for "Galway Girl", the melody taken from Beoga's "Minute 5" was used to link the bridge and the chorus in the manner of a modern pop song, resulting in a pop song with an Irish flavor rather than a wholly traditional-sounding folk song.[8]

Release

The song was announced as the third single from the album ÷ on Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March 2017, and was added to BBC Radio 2's playlist on 18 March 2017.[18]

According to Sheeran, he had to fight his record label to keep the song on his album: "They were really, really against 'Galway Girl', because apparently folk music isn't cool."[19][20] However, he was able to convince them to include the song by telling them that it would be a "f***ing massive [hit] because there are 400 million people in the world who will say they are Irish even if they aren't".[21][22]

The song went on to become the third most streamed song from ÷ on Spotify.[23]

On 26 May, the radio single was published in Italy.

Critical reception

Amy Mulvaney from the

Wonderwall'."[4]

Galway Girl was ranked as one of the worst songs of 2017 by Time[28] and New York Post,[29] with the latter calling it a "hodgepodge of borderline-offensive Irish clichés".

Chart performance

The song entered the UK chart at number two behind "Shape of You" when it became available for download on the album release.[30] As of September 2017, the song has sold 1.2 million combined units in the United Kingdom, with 246,000 in actual sales and 0.95 million in streams.[31]

In Ireland, it debuted at number one on the singles chart.[30] It also reached the number one chart position in Scotland and Slovenia. In the United States, the song peaked at number 53, and has sold 210,813 copies as of October 2017.[32]

Music video

On 11 April 2017, Sheeran shot the POV music video for "Galway Girl" in Galway, Ireland, and filmed it himself on a Sony α7S on body-mounted Ikan EC-1 gimbal rigged to a Steadicam vest.[33][34] The video was directed by Jason Koenig, who also directed the music video for "Shape of You", and director of photography Johnny Valencia.[33] It was uploaded to Sheeran's official YouTube channel on 3 May 2017.[35]

The video begins with Sheeran leaving a concert (at the

3 Arena in Dublin) he has just finished playing. He goes to a bar where he finds Saoirse Ronan, who is dancing on a table and drinking Guinness beer. The two drink beer, dance together, and play darts. Sheeran enrages another man at the bar by accidentally hitting him in the back with a dart, and Sheeran and Ronan quickly leave. Out in the street, they encounter Irish dancers, stop to listen to a busker, and ride bikes to a tattoo parlor where Sheeran gets a tattoo. They return to the bar for more dancing and drinking. Sheeran spills beer on the same man he hit with a dart earlier, and gets knocked out, but wakes up at Ronan's apartment. The video concludes with both Sheeran and Ronan on the apartment's rooftop balcony together, looking out over The Long Walk and Galway Bay.[36][37][38]

The video for "Galway Girl" features Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.[3] Sheeran was impressed by Ronan's performance in the video, commenting, "She, off-screen, is normal and just like a cool person and as soon as the camera goes on her she just turns... It was a really phenomenal thing to watch. I've never really seen a young actor or actress that good. She's really talented."[37] The video also features cameos by several local celebrities, including Irish comedian and presenter Tommy Tiernan, host of The Tommy Tiernan Show.[37]

Sheeran's new tattoo filmed in the video is misspelled "Galway Grill", which Sheeran said was the result of a prank by Ronan.[39]

Live performances

On 6 July 2017, Sheeran performed the song along with other songs from ÷, live at

Today show. About 12,000 fans attended the performance, with some lining up before sunrise to secure their place in line.[40][41]

On 8 December 2017, Sheeran performed "Galway Girl" live at the Z100

Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden in New York City.[42][43]

On 10 December 2017, Sheeran performed the song live at the Jingle Bell Ball at London's O2 arena, hosted by Capital FM.[44][45]

Sheeran, accompanied by Beoga, performed "Galway Girl" at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards on 20 May 2018. Although he was on world tour in support of his album ÷ at the time, his performance at Phoenix Park in Dublin was broadcast at the award ceremony in Las Vegas.[46][47]
