Writing and recording

"Easy" was one out of two new additions to Overloaded: The Singles Collection, primarily contributed by Jason Pebworth and George Astasio from the band Orson, with whom the Sugababes' share the same management. Thus the duo came up "with a few ideas for a couple of songs", including a "rough" concept for electro-influenced "Easy". Though Pebworth and Astasiois originally wrote all of the song's lyrics by themselves, Amelle Berrabah and Keisha Buchanan decided to contribute some own ideas to it, eventually changing parts of the arrangement and the melodies, while adding a second verse and the chorus. Because of deadline pressure most of the vocals were recorded separately.^[1] Orson is a BRIT Award Winning American rock band from Hollywood, California who formed in 2000. ...

Sugababes member Berrabah described "Easy" as a "quite Princey ... sexy, cheeky" song: "It's basically saying to someone 'come over here, what are you waiting for,' almost, one of the lyrics is there is, 'my engine's running hot can you come and fix it for me', and little bits like that telling a bloke to come to them sort of thing, so it's more about the man coming to the woman, and she's trying to bring him on to come over..."^[1] "'Easy' is a very naughty and cheeky song," Buchanan added in an interview with Contactmusic. "It's completely fresh sounding but at the same time has the same qualities as the biggest songs of our career, so it's perfect for this album."^[2] Prince changed his stage name into an unpronounceable symbol in 1993, but took up the name Prince again in 1999. ...
