Background and composition
[edit]Cabello announced the song's release on October 9, 2019, via her social media.[4]
"Easy" was written by Cabello, Justin Tranter, John Hill, Adam Feeney, Louis Bell, Carter Lang and Westen Weiss. It runs for three minutes and sixteen seconds.[5] Hugh McIntyre of Forbes characterized "Easy" as a pop song.[1]
Throughout the track, Cabello can be heard addressing her many insecurities and things that she does not like about herself, such as overthinking to the point where things are ruined, her "crooked teeth" and the stretch marks on her thighs.[6] The track is about how her partner helped her love herself and finding true love for the first time.[7]
