Brit-pop singer Lewis Fitzgerald is getting vulnerable on his new single, “Easy,” a confessional track about the desire to be resilient beyond the tribulations one faces.
Rising from South London, Fitzgerald breaks down barriers to confront his inner demons by opening up about the troubles he faces. This catchy tune contrasts the vulnerability he explores in his lyrics.
Fitzgerald knows the weight of being open about one’s feelings and he encourages others to keep moving forward:
“I keep pushing everyday because I know the ones who love me never wanna receive that phone call to say I’m no longer with them. I wouldn’t say this song is a message to keep pushing on – as I’lL always advise you keep pushing – but this song is a statement to those who have and are going through serious mental struggles to let you know that you’re not alone. I bleed too.”
While the song’s title contrasts the complexity of his emotions, the singer yearns for the “easy” life, such as living comfortably without having to worry about any of his difficulties. Ultimately, he wants to “give the world to the ones who gave [him his] life,” while shouting out the ones who have long passed, claiming, “we do this all for you.”
With millions of streams and hundreds of thousands of listeners, the English singer continues to soar to new heights. Despite its unfortunate undertones, this single is paired with a music video showcasing his triumphs, particularly documenting the lead-up to his first sold-out headlining show in London. The video follows the singer through the streets of London, hinting at slight anxiety in his expression, before cutting back and forth between moments with fans and performing onstage. This video highlights Fitzgerald’s intention with this song; pushing through the darkness gives opportunity for light.
Fitzgerald gets very personal in his lyrics, confessing his darkest moments, reflecting on the moments he felt like giving up, but knew that the thought of this impression on his loved ones would hurt more: “the thought of my people crying / Let up my grip on that knife.”
All while he may have experienced these darker moments, the songwriter continues to remind anyone listening that, “it don’t matter where you come from, your troubles, it will be alright.”
The track ends with a voiceover from Fitzgerald himself assuring that it does not matter what bad things happen to him or his name, “everything I do is for the future of my child. That’s it.”
