Promotion

Prior to the release of Easy, on February 19, 2024, Le Sserafim held two live events on YouTube and Weverse to introduce the extended play and connect with their fans. The group embarked on the Easy Crazy Hot Tour in 2025 to promote the EP along with its following EPs, Crazy and Hot.

Composition

The album draws from the group members' uneasiness and worries behind their confidence. The intro track, "Good Bones", was described as an "unruly" rock and roll song, and features narrations in Korean, Japanese and English. The lead single, "Easy", is a trap and R&B song, expressing how the group "makes hard things look easy". "Smart" has been described as an Afropop-inspired Amapiano song. "We got so much", which was first performed on the Flame Rises Tour, features "crisp synths" and emotional lyrics dedicated to the group's fans.

Critical reception

Easy was met with mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics. NME's Rhian Daly gave the album four stars out of five, writing that it "presents a new evolution in Le Sserafim's oeuvre, not just thematically but musically too". Lee Seung-won from IZM gave the album 2.5 stars out of five, writing that "although Easy has a lot of charm in its sound, it has more flaws than any of the group's other works." David Crone of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of five, praising "Good Bones" and "Easy" but overall assessing that the album's "sub-three-minute song lengths and heavy-handed influences put a ceiling on its potential for intrigue."

Commercial performance

According to the Hanteo Chart, the album sold 783,358 copies on its first day of release. In Japan, the album sold 107,000 copies within its first week of release, marking Le Sserafim's highest first-week sales in the country.
