The Sugababes confirmed in June 2006 that a greatest hits album would be released in time for Christmas of that year. [1] The album, titled Overloaded: The Singles Collection , was confirmed to contain two brand new tracks called "Easy" and "Good to Be Gone". [2] "Easy" was written by Jason Pebworth and George Astasio, both members of American rock band Orson, in collaboration with the Sugababes—Keisha Buchanan, Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah. [3] It was produced by Brio Taliaferro, Pebworth and Astasio. [3] Orson, who shared the same management with the Sugababes, discovered that the group had begun writing material for their new album. [4] They visited the studio with the Sugababes and offered ideas for new tracks, which the group enjoyed. [5] Buchanan spoke upon the Sugababes' involvement with the song by saying that they "went into the studio separately" and "changed things around".

[14] "Easy" features heavy use of synthesizers—most notably a bass synthesizer, as well as a "grinding electro riff". [15] [16] [17] According to Fraser McAlphine of BBC, the chorus is reminiscent of songs performed by British girl group, Girls Aloud.

[17] The song's lyrical content is metaphorical and features sexual euphemisms. [16] Buchanan described the song during an interview that was published on the group's official website, saying: "Easy is a very naughty and cheeky song – it’s the most sexy song we’ve ever done. It came about when Orson had an idea for a song. They played it to us – it was just a verse and a bridge and we completely changed the format of the song to make it our own and the result is this incredibly provocative sexy number that we love." She elaborated in a separate interview: "When we started working with the guys from Orson the sound just blew us away – 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!"

[15] John Dingwall from gave the song full-five star rating, describing it as a "funky pop grower which beats many of the American acts at their own game". [18] Stuart McCaighy of This Is Fake DIY wrote it "thrills with its edge electro bass", and that the Sugababes "come over all seductive with the most transparently obvious lyrical euphemisms heard in a long time." [19] A journalist from Contactmusic.com regarded it as "smart, sexy and danceable, packed with hooks and undeniably fun." [8] They described the verses as "low-slung" and the chorus as an "un-second guessable blast of pure pop". [8] However, Cameron Adamns of the Herald Sun criticized "Easy" as having "none of the charm or sass" of the other songs on Overloaded . [20] Tim Finney of Pitchfork Media had a similar response to the song, writing that it attempts to "reverse engineer the brand of cool that is commonly given to them via a limpid and largely tuneless rock-pop hybrid". [21] Adam Webb of Yahoo! Music regarded the song as "forgettable". [22] Chart performance. "Easy" entered the Irish Singles Chart on 2 November 2006 at number 34.

One Touch : Original lineup. Keisha Buchanan (born 30 September 1984) and Mutya Buena (born 21 May 1985) were childhood friends in London and met Siobhan Donaghy (born 14 June 1983) at a party when they were thirteen. Buchanan's family hails from Jamaica while Buena's mother is Irish and her father comes from the Philippines. The trio decided to form a group together soon after in 1998. London Records decided to offer the group a contract when the girls were 14 and brought in Cameron McVey, known for his work with All Saints to develop an album. The first single "Overload" made the UK Top 10 and was nominated for a Brit Award. The group largely wrote One Touch album which had three further Top 40 hits in the UK - "New Year", "Run For Cover" and "".

Siobhan Donaghy left the band prior to this, during a promotional tour in Japan in 2001, originally stating that she wished to pursue a career in fashion, but later revealing she had become depressed and felt isolated in the group, due to the strong bond between Mutya and Keisha.

His original mix of the track had been released on white label entitled "Are Freaks Electric?" "Freak Like Me" enabled the group to break into the mainstream, featuring a dark, sexy video showing Heidi's induction into the group, and debuting at number one in the UK and number two in Ireland in 2002, eclipsing the chart positions of their previous four singles with Donaghy.
