"**So Easy**" is a song by [Norwegian](/source/Norway) duo [Röyksopp](/source/R%C3%B6yksopp), 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.](/source/Melody_A.M.)* "So Easy" contains instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960s cover version of the [Burt Bacharach](/source/Burt_Bacharach) and [Hal David](/source/Hal_David) song "[Blue on Blue](/source/Blue_on_Blue_(song))" by Swedish vocal group [Gals and Pals](/source/Gals_and_Pals).[1] 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](/source/Nickelodeon_(UK_and_Ireland)) and [Channel 4](/source/Channel_4), as well as in British television [adverts](/source/Advertising) for [T-Mobile](/source/T-Mobile_UK) (now [EE](/source/EE_(telecommunications))). After the song was featured in these commercials, the single was re-released, with the group's hit "[Remind Me](/source/Remind_Me_(R%C3%B6yksopp_song))" as the [A-side](/source/A-side_and_B-side) and "So Easy" as the [B-side](/source/A-side_and_B-side).

Thorbjørn Brundtland commented on the song "With regard to all the positive reactions *So Easy* has received, one can wonder if we really have talent, or if it is just luck."[2]
