Shark recalls saying "Just before we started the writing session, Ed asked me if I wrote songs about my man, I told him I do, but love songs aren't really for us. He then smiled and said 'ok that's what we'll do then'. I don't know why but I struggle to write straight forward love songs, the second they start sounding too lovey and gushy I tend to follow it up with a lyric that's semi sad or confronting. This song is as loved up as you'll get from me and I love it. Australian Radio Immediately began playing "Love Songs Ain't For Us", before its Official release to radio, & it's immediate impact across the Hit Network & the Nova Network with plenty of airplay on the KIIS Network, plus plenty of airplay across some Regional Radio Networks getting in, on the act as well. "Love Songs Ain't For Us" is This Week's Hot Debut entering the Hot 100 at #41.
Amy Shark is continually kicking goals left, right, and centre, and her new single ‘Love Songs Ain’t For Us’ is another big moment in her career. Not only does the song feature Australian country music legend Keith Urban, but it was also a co-write between her and Ed Sheeran. HUGE.
With a whole discography of vulnerable tracks that explore heartbreak and mental health, a topic that she doesn’t usually open up to in-depth about is her relationship with her husband. So ‘Love Songs Ain’t For Us’ is an insight into their intimacy and their bond that keeps them together so purely. “Yeah, you know love songs ain’t for us. Nothing could explain about the way it hurts so much. But at the same time it’s, perfect nights, it’s open doors, It’s feeling safe, it’s being sure. It’s a deep cut, crazy rush, to feel like us” she sings during the chorus.
With a light production guiding listeners throughout the duration, it sounds like the perfect first dance song that will undeniably get used in a lot of weddings to come. It’s a sound that comes quite naturally to Ed Sheeran, and you can certainly hears his influence shining through. But it’s a welcomed contrast to the sound that we are used to hearing from Amy Shark. It’s big, sweeping, and simply beautiful, and shows listeners a different side to her vulnerability.
With Keith Urban singing on the track with her, their harmonies are ultimately rich, and give the song a warm layering of emotions. This will become a HUGE track for both artists this year, and will be one you won’t be able to avoid over the next couple of months.

"Wellerman" is a well-known whaling song. Originating in New Zealand, the song frequently refers to the "wellermen", supply ships owned by the Weller Brothers. The song was first published in a book of New Zealand folk songs in 1973. The song's content has drawn academic praise as "a genuine cultural expression by exploited workers for whom 'sugar and tea and rum' provided a much-needed respite from the drudgery and toil of their daily lives". In 2020 and 2021, versions by British folk music group the Longest Johns and Scottish musician Nathan Evans became unlikely viral hits on the social media site TikTok, leading to a "social media craze" around "sea shanties"."Wellerman" has seen an increase in Airplay across the NOVA & KIIS Networks plus airplay across the Hit Network in the past week, plus airplay on some of the Major Regional Radio Networks, has increased as well, giving it some good spins. "Wellerman" is this Weeks Greatest Gainer moving up 39 places from #91 to #52.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing the name Nathan Evans before this start of this year, but the Scottish singer has become one of 2021’s success stories after going viral with his cover of traditional sea shanty Wellerman.
Nathan kicked started the popular ShantyTok trend on TikTok and racked up millions of views on his covers, but he’s not stopping there and is set for even more success after bagging a record deal with Polydor Records off the back of his popularity.
Quite the turn of events, considering he was working a postman this time last year.
So, with the 26-year-old on course to take over the charts, we’ve done some digging to find out everything you need to know about Nathan Evans.
Wellerman is a well-known sea shanty that is thought to have originated in New Zealand as early as 1860. It rose to popularity again in 2020 when Nathan Evans' cover went viral on TikTok.
Following his online success, Nathan signed a record deal with Polydor Records and released a remix of the song called Wellerman (Sea Shanty) alongside 220 Kid and Billen Ted on 21 January 2021.
So far it has spent five weeks on the Official UK Singles Chart and has peaked at number two.
