Peter Jackson was introduced to Ed Sheeran's music through his daughter, Katie, who attended Sheeran's concert in Wellington in March, 2013.
After learning that Ed adored his film's, Jackson asked to meet the following day where they exchanged emails. In late 2013, Jackson and Fran Walsh were searching for an artist who would write and record the song. Following Katie's advice, they decided to try Sheeran.
Sheeran watched the film at an early screening. Jackson's note to Ed was "Focus on the last 10 minutes. That's what the song needs to reflect. Write a song that takes the audience by the hand and leads them from Middle-earth back into reality."
Ed decided to write lyrics "from the perspective of being a dwarf". He wrote and recorded, in only one day, most of the elements present in the released version.
