Song information

The album version features rapper Lil Wayne, but many radio stations play the single version, which replaces Wayne with Bow Wow. A Spanish version of the song, "Fácil", exists; it only has her vocals without Bow Wow or Lil Wayne. (Fácil means easy in Spanish.) It is included in the bonus edition of her album Paula DeAnda .

Chart information

"Easy" peaked at #64 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and it spent a total number of 11 weeks on the Hot 100. Its final position was #90 during the charting week of September 22, 2007.

Music video

The video was shot by Billie Woodruff. It was shown for the first time on television on TRL on July 18. The video features appearances by Baby Bash, Wilmer Valderrama, Bow Wow's artist Khleo Thomas, and Bow Wow himself. In the video, DeAnda can be seen applying make up and driving around in an Aston Martin, being chased continually by men. She shows off her more glamorous side for the first time in this video.

TRL muted the word "gun" out of the video which interrupts the correct instrumental.
