The song was written by McFly members Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter as well as Antony Brant.

The song also briefly charted in the Indonesian Top 40, hitting a high of No.

"Love Is Easy" is unlike other McFly singles as it heavily features the ukulele, being the first song that Tom Fletcher had written using it; Fletcher explains "[the band] wrote most of the melody first and that was just inspired because I bought a ukulele and that was the first song I wrote on it really".

Tom Fletcher announced via Twitter, on 9 March 2013, that the single had been certified Platinum in Australia, passing 70,000 copies sold in the country.

It is directed by David Spearing of Big Fat Panda Productions and features as the entirety of the background artists, members of comedy collective BattleActs.
