Songfacts®:

  • Co-written by lead singer Matt Thomas, this track is about the feeling of calm that being with a loved one can bring. "The song is about getting back to that one person who makes you feel easy… the one that brings the crazy down a notch," Thomas said. "It's kinda like waking up on a calm Sunday morning."
  • The Commodores hit song "Easy" is another song where a sense of calm is compared to feeling "easy like Sunday morning." However in that instance, Lionel Richie is singing about feeling liberated after giving up on a relationship that was bringing him down.
  • Matt Thomas wrote the song with Josh Osborne and Ross Koppelman. He told Taste of Country that writing the song was fittingly easy. "The melodies just flowed and the title came out of something I was mumbling," he said. "It was just one of those days where things just happen and at the end of the day you're like, 'Wow.' It just popped out like that. It was crazy."
