Background

"Thursday" was written by Glynne, Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac. It was the second song Glynne and Mac had worked together on, after the former's 2015 single "Take Me Home". In an interview with Billboard, Glynne spoke about the writing process. "We spoke about the highs and lows of being famous and doing the job that we do. It was really cool because for me as an artist, I don't really work with that many artists, and obviously you never know how it is for someone else and you feel like you don't know whether that's just you."[2]
