Emergence
According to an interview with Hit Parader magazine in March 1988, It's So Easy is a piece that deals with the fact that things are “too easy” in life and that there is a void at the same time. It refers to “an account of a time Duff McKagan and West Arkeen, and also the rest of the band, were kinda going through. They didn't have money, but they had a lot of hangers on and girls [they] could basically live off of ... things were just too easy. There's an emptiness; it's so easy. "
In 2006, Axl Rose said in an interview that Duff McKagan and West Arkeen wrote the song as an acoustic "hippie-ya-ya" piece and it was Slash's idea to turn it into a rock song.
Music video
There was an official music video for the song, the first the band produced and shown live.

The piece is a live classic. It is often even played as an opener at concerts, for example during the Use Your Illusion Tour .
