"So Easy" is a song by Norwegian duo Röyksopp, released as their first single. It was first made available in 1999, with only 500 copies made and distributed. It was later re-released on Röyksopp's debut album Melody A.M. "So Easy" contains instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960s cover version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "Blue on Blue" (often misheard as "Who are you") recorded by a Swedish vocal group called Gals & Pals. The sampled lyrics are "Blue on blue, heartache on heartache/Blue on blue, Now that we are through."
"So Easy" was used in displays between programs on Nickelodeon UK and Channel 4, as well as in British television adverts for T-Mobile (now EE). After the song was featured in these commercials, the single was re-released, with the group's hit "Remind Me" as the A-side and "So Easy" as the B-side.
