In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His debut album + (2011), containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
In 2012, Sheeran began to rise to fame in the United States. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth album Red and wrote songs for the boyband One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he did a duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He will spend much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Swift's Red Tour.
"Lego House" was released as the third single by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran lifted from the debut studio album + on November 11, 2011. It was released as the second single in the US on February 11th.
The song was written by Ed Sheeran, Jake Gosling, Chris Leonard and produced by Jake Gosling. The song has peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart. The music video features Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, as a play on their similar appearance.
