Background and composition
"Love Is Easy" is unlike other McFly singles as it heavily features the ukelele, 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". According to Dougie Poynter, the song was partly inspired by the film Love Actually, saying "that moment in 'Love Actually' when one of the porn couple says 'all I want for Christmas is you', that moment there was our inspiration". The song also incorporates a quote from the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. This is the first McFly single that hasn't been released as a CD single.
