"So Easy" was the first single released by Norwegian duo Röyksopp. Originally it was released in 1999, with only 500 copies made and distributed. Later it was re-released on Röyksopp's debut album. "So Easy" contains instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960s cover version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "Blue on Blue" recorded by a Swedish vocal group called Gals & Pals. (It had originally been recorded by Bobby Vinton). The sampled lyrics are: "Blue On Blue, Heartache On Heartache/Blue On Blue, Now That We Are Through." "So Easy" was used for a time on British television adverts for T-Mobile, as well as the displays between programs on Channel 4.

After "So Easy" was used in said T-Mobile ad in the UK, the single was re-released, with the groups hit "Remind Me" as the A-Side and "So Easy" as the B-side.
