Rex Orange County put "Loving Is Easy" out himself on 11 October 2017, a self-released single with the Dutch musician Benny Sings along for the ride. The English singer wrote and produced it, and Benny Sings shares the writing credit. It's pop soul with an easy, sunny lope, and Complex ranked it the 17th best song of 2017, its writer Alex Gardener pegging it as the kind of tune people pick up on guitar to win over a crush, and one that could turn up at weddings.
The video arrived the same day as the song: a stop-motion animation of the two musicians, made by Chris Ullens.
