“Easy Lover” is the sixth track on Miley Cyrus’ album Something Beautiful. The song is a striking blend of country, rock, and pop, merging raw electric guitar riffs with emotive vocals and heartfelt lyrics. Originally written during the Plastic Hearts era, the song took years to reach its final form...
[Verse 1]
(Ooh-woo) You're my baby, you're the only one
You drive me crazy, oh, but I still miss you when you're gone
Every second, every hour
(Ooh-woo) It's in your nature, to light me up
I love to hate you, uh, but I can't stand it when you're gone
So I call you once every hour
[Chorus]
You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave you
But you're not an easy lover
[Verse 2]
You're a wildfire, mmh, and I'm in your path (Ooh-woo)
I've decided I want to keep on dancing in the ashes
And so I call out, "Let it burn" (Ooh-woo)
[Chorus]
You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave you
But you're not an easy lover (Ooh-woo)
[Post-Chorus]
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
Easy lover, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
You got the love I always needed (Ah)
Tie me to horses, I still wouldn't leave you (Tell them, B)
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy, ah)
[Chorus]
You make it hard to touch another (You make it hard)
Anything goes when we're under cover (Covers)
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
(Easy lover, ooh-woo)
[Post-Chorus]
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Can't give you up, ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up (Ooh-woo)
No, I just can't give you up, no, I just can't give you up
But you're not an easy lover (You're not an easy, you're not an easy)
(Ooh-woo)

I had written originally that song around Plastic Heart days and never got the production quite where I wanted it, but I had written it with a totally different verse but the chorus, I had always loved that chorus, and so that was around you know like 2020, 2021, and then I held on to it and when Be...
