Posted May 19, 200718 yr I'm falling in love with the sound and lyrics of this. The beat in the chorus reminds me of Madonna's "Drowned World/ Substitute for Love." Part of the chorus goes something like, "It's not easy being right all the time, You know someone has to be, Cause feelings can be undermined, Usually that someone turns out to be me..." With lyrics like this, the song deserves to be a single. Here's more info on this track: It’s Not Easy brings it all back to the reason this album exists: Tahlia. Mutya’s team-up with Felix Howard, Paul Simm and Sam Frank (producers and writers of Overload from the Sugababe’s debut One Touch) pays tribute to her daughter while completely avoiding the usual ‘My wuvverly baybee’-isms of more sentimental musical mothers. In fact, it’s a tough tune. ‘I don’t need to tell people I love my daughter. They should know that. But it’s different explaining how deep it is, walking around with a big belly, not knowing what will come out, trying to figure it out from a scan. That’s what It's Not Easy’s about.’ Like most of Real Girl, It’s Not Easy’s lyrics are sharp and concise enough to ensure Mutya won’t be misunderstood. If only the same could be said of her reputation in the Sugababes days. She’s been called bitchy, moody and a fair few things besides. Mutya sighs, with the air of someone who’s got used to being bad-mouthed and has pretty much ceased to be arsed. ‘During the Sugababes people did misunderstand me. But you’ve got to remember that I started when I was fourteen. When you’re that young you don’t know much and you’re not really gonna be sitting there taking in the media training ‘cos you’re not concerned. I grew up in north-west London and I didn’t know any better! But it’s always the people who stand up and speak out who get the blame for everything.’ (from www.emimusicpub.com - mutya buena) An audio clip has been posted on youtube at: Mutya Buena-It's not easy
