The performer debuted a new look in the video for his latest single, “Bad Habits”, which he credited to changes he made after Lyra was born.

“Well, I became a dad and I feel like my lifestyle shift has changed. Instead of going to bed at six [a.m.], I’m getting up at four,” Ed told host James Corden.

“It just feels like what life was meant to be. It’s great. My days are structured,” he continued.

“I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I’m exercising every day,” he added. “I’m spending so much time at home making the record. Yeah, I feel like a human being. It’s good.”

His daughter also helped inspire him to get back to making music.

“I didn’t touch the guitar for months after my tour finished,” he said of his massive 2017 to 2019 ÷ Tour. “I kind of had a crisis of confidence of I wanted to not work, but then I was like, ‘Work is my hobby.’ So I basically had to find different things that I had as hobbies so it wasn’t just all [singing]. So I didn’t touch a guitar for ages. Actually when Lyra was born, that’s when I picked it up again and started singing to her.”

“I was brought up on traditional Irish folk music and being able to sing trad songs to her was really, really sweet,” he shared.
