You Signed Up For This is the debut album by British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, released on August 27, 2021 by Gingerbread Man Records, Ed Sheeran’s record label. Four singles from the album were released before the album’s release: “John Hughes Movie” on February 26, 2021; “Psycho” on July 2, 2021; and “You Signed Up For This” and “Brooklyn” on August 11, 2021.
The album peaked at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and the Scottish Albums Chart. In 2022, Peters embarked on a tour to support the album, which she later wrote about in “The Band and I”, a song on her sophomore album, The Good Witch.
I’m my own album’s biggest fan, and I have been for ages. I’ve been writing music for a while now, and there are so many different avenues I could have gone down and so many different albums I could have made. I feel so surely that this is the right one.
We [her and Ed Sheeran] just worked really well together. This can feel like a very lonely [job], so it’s great having a teammate and having someone rooting for you.
It was very important to me that this album reflected everything that I do. I was very free and I let myself do whatever I chose.
