You Need Me, I Don't Need You Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ItsRhiB 

Cover art for You Need Me, I Don't Need You lyrics by Ed Sheeran

I think that the song means, my the lyrics "Your name's on the credits but you didn't write nothing", that it means someone's trying to ask Ed to write a song for them and taking 100% credit for the work. Or, it might not be just one specific artist. It could be a warning to ALL artists. OR, it could be the record label route. He doesn't need someone to give the money he works for to. He's doing fine on his own.
