Easy (Round2 song)

## Round2 singles chronology

"**Easy**" is the debut single by American-Australian hip hop duo Round2. It was released on November 14, 2014 as the lead single from Round2's debut extended play, *Are You Ready For* (2015).

## Background and composition

Following their signing as a duo, Round2 were scheduled a joint studio session with newcomer Aurora after an absence from her previously assigned creative partner the week prior. Aurora's creative energy instantly aligned with that of Round2's, and the trio had written and recorded a rough demo of "Easy" within their first studio session together. Upon the track's completion, Red Rose Records decided that for marketing purposes Aurora would not appear on the song's credits. This was thought to strengthen Round2's image as a competent rap duo, and retain public perception of Aurora as a budding solo pop star given the initial positive reception to her debut single.

"Easy" is composed as a primarily hip hop song. Lyrically, it explores themes of assertiveness, sexualization, and extravagance, with Arcadia declaring the track a "bad bitch mantra": "It's about gassing yourself up, it's an anthem. It's the kinda song you listen to on your way to the club for a night out with the girls. Ain't nobody thinking you a bad bitch if you ain't thinking you a bad bitch!" Arcadia explained in a radio interview. Structurally, the song contains three rapped verses alternating between Arcadia and Lucson, while Lucson takes the track's pre-choruses, and Arcadia carries the chorus. Both contribute to the track's post-chorus hook.

Following co-composer Aurora's rise to prominence in late 2014–early 2015, Red Rose Records retroactively amended the track's credits in order to rightfully recognise her as both a songwriter and producer of "Easy" in January 2015, preceding the release of Round2's EP *Are You Ready For* (2015).

## Lyrics

Now I'm at the top everybody tryna bring me down
Never gonna stop showin' everyone I run this town
'Cause I am the best, bitch I make myself impressed
Everybody know it now; time to take the fuckin' crown
Now I'm at the top everybody tryna bring me down
Never gonna stop showin' everyone I run this town
Bow down bitch if you really wanna please me
'Cause I'm slayin' hard, but I make it look so
**Hook: Izzy Arcadia & *Both***
*Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy,* I do it so
*Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy,* I do it so
**First Verse: Izzy Arcadia**
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
A couple motherfuckers out the back—rear
They say they wanna fight, shit's gettin' real tonight
I'ma pull a Mike Tyson, bite your fuckin' ear
Now you bitches listening, now you full of fear?
'Cause I got you in my headlights, and you the fuckin' deer
So get out of my sight, I ain't playin', alright?
Cut a bitch just to be certain that I made myself clear
**Pre-Chorus: Lucky the MC**
She a bad bitch; she do it like that
Ain't no other motherfucker do it like that
She a bad bitch; she do it like that
Watch her drop it low and make that booty clap, clap, clap
**Chorus: Izzy Arcadia**
Now I'm at the top everybody tryna bring me down

**Second Verse: Lucky the MC**
Perfect, she do it so fine

Let me take you back to my place, we can do it all night
Alright, now it's clear

*Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy,* I do it so
**Third Verse: Izzy Arcadia**
Expensive, I do it so rich
I'm a motherfuckin' boss, and a motherfuckin' bitch
I'm not an arrogant hoe; I'm just extravagant, yo
All these inadequate hoes think they the shit (they just shit)
And I don't give a fuck; they can say what they think
'Cause I'm here with my girls, so just pour me a drink
Yeah I'm a certified legend, and you give me the impression
That you're a wannabe baby, and that you're right on the brink of extinct (ha)
**Pre-Chorus: Lucky the MC**
She a bad bitch; she do it like that
Ain't no other motherfucker do it like that
She a bad bitch; she do it like that
Watch her drop it low and make that booty clap, clap, clap
**Chorus: Izzy Arcadia**
Now I'm at the top everybody tryna bring me down
Never gonna stop showin' everyone I run this town
'Cause I am the best, bitch I make myself impressed
Everybody know it now; time to take the fuckin' crown
Now I'm at the top everybody tryna bring me down
Never gonna stop showin' everyone I run this town
Bow down bitch if you really wanna please me
'Cause I'm slayin' hard, but I make it look so
