Video hit Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow - Easy

Easy is a song by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow recorded for her eighth studio album, Feels Like Home.

The song, announced as the lead single, made its airplay debut on February 21, 2013 and was released on March 12. The song combines elements of rock and roll and country music and also is her first release through Warner Music Nashville.

In an interview, Crow described the single as her "staycation (staying home) song" and stated it was about "making your home feel like you're getting away" as opposed to vacationing in exotic places.

The song has received positive reviews from most critics. Jim Beviglia from American Songwriter gave the song a positive review describing Crow's performance as "inviting", but at the same time stated the song was in her "comfort zone".

Billy Dukes from Taste of Country gave the track 3 and a half stars out of 5, commenting: "It’s easy to be seduced by Crow’s carefree warmth and laid-back style. It’s easy to overlook the effective songwriting, and it’s easy to fall into her story again and again."

Ben Foster gave the song a "B" rating and wrote for Country Universe that "Crow’s delivery of the chorus conveys a subtle sense of excitement that quietly pulls the listener in, lending an organic feel to the track as a whole".

Bobby Peacock from Roughstock.com praised the song's lyrics and wrote: "The song is a smooth listen, but executed strongly enough to be more than just ear candy.", giving the song 3 and a half stars out of 5.

A less favorable review came from Bob Paxman of Country Weekly, who gave the song a "C+" and said that "Sheryl delivers it with joy and a bit of playful, sexual overtone, but there's nothing extraordinary about the song.”

Graeme O'Neil of Graemeoneil.com said '' “Easy” actually doesn’t sound too different from Crow’s past work and it’s crazy catchy''. Will Ermes of Rolling Stone said '' ''Easy'' is smart, airbrushed '00s mainstream contenders in the spirit of Miranda Lambert and country's tough new radio sweethearts.''

The lyrics:

We said that summer we'd go down to Cancun

But no money makes that kind of hard to do

Forget the beach – I’d rather be here with you

Playing Croquet okay, maybe, that’s not true

But you make it easy, easy, easy to get away

Sit in the sun and drink beer all day

Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?

Baby, let's stay home

We’ll put on bug spray and we'll lose our clothes

Put out the lawn chairs and turn on the hose

We’ll play Jack Johnson, he’s the new Don Ho

And we’ll go surfing, surfing, we'll surf the radio

'Cause you make it easy, easy, easy to get away

Sit in the sun and drink beer all day

You know it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?

Oh, hey, who needs Mexico?

Baby, let's stay home

Drink margaritas and take in the sunset

Later on we'll slip up to our king size bed

And make love, love, sweet love

You make it easy, easy

Oh, yes, it's easy, easy

You make it easy, easy, easy to get away

Sit in the sun and sip tequila all day

Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?

Tell me now, who needs Mexico?

Baby let's stay home

Baby let's stay home

Let's get away baby

Oh, let's get away, baby

Oh...

Go on a little holiday...
