Irish abortion referendumedit
In the run-up to the 2018 Irish Abortion referendum, a campaign against abortion rights, used "Small Bump" without Sheeran's permission. On 19 May 2018, he wrote on Instagram: "I've been informed that my song "Small Bump" is being used to promote the anti-abortion campaign, and I feel it's important to let you know I have not given approval for this use, and it does not reflect what the song is about."[5]
