Songfacts®:

• This tender love song was inspired by Blunt's' wife and baby son. It was co-written with Ed Sheeran and Sheeran's regular collaborator Johnny McDaid from Snow Patrol.
• Asked by Artist Direct what Sheeran brings that is unique to the songwriting process, Blunt replied:
  
  "He said, he really loved my first album because it was incredibly direct, its lyrics. And that he felt it would be good to try and do that again, because I suppose with the kind of intrusion of that first album, intrusion into my private life... things like that, I kind of closed up a little bit, with the kind of visceral attacks I had on myself after that first album, which, yeah I kind of closed up and wrote more ambiguous lyrics.
  
  He said, 'Come on that's your job. You're a songwriter, so let's write the lyrics as open as possible,' in a way that makes me quite uncomfortable, and so the song we wrote was a song called, 'Make Me Better'. I find it so open and so direct, it definitely makes me uncomfortable."
• Ed Sheeran also produced the track. It represented the first time that he'd taken on solo producer duties for another artist.
