Ed Sheeran takes music very seriously.

Not only did the "Bad Habits" singer reveal in an interview with Rolling Stone that his mental health took a massive toll after losing his best friends, but it also put his life and music into perspective.

Sheeran announced that he is currently working on his posthumous album, "I want to slowly make this album that is quote-unquote 'perfect' for the rest of my life."

Apparently, the "Shape of You" singer has been building up this album for quite some time now, "adding songs here and there."

Sheeran has five other albums lined up for release.

"It was very quickly seen that we were making two different things," Sheeran said. "I have no goals for the record. I just want to put it out."
