Today (July 25, 2025), international hitmaker JVKE and Chinese singer and rapper Lay Zhang have collaborated on their latest single entitled “easy.”
Announced as a surprise single last night, the song is written purely in English. The track itself is a synth-pop heartbreak anthem that tackles the regret that comes with ending a relationship as the two croon in the chorus, “Why, oh, why baby, don’t you try? / I walked away and you said, ‘Goodbye’ / I don’t wanna leave, babe / But you’re making it easy.”
This marks JVKE’s second collaboration with a renowned K-pop artist in a row, as he’d previously worked on “butterflies” with Taehyun of TOMORROW X TOGETHER and Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM. The track may have came out just two weeks ago on July 10, but it has been circulating the Internet as a certified viral hit.
For Lay, this would mark his second major release of the year following his single “开天” (Kai Tan) earlier in January of this year. The artist had made his solo debut in 2016 with the track “Monodrama” released through the SM STATION project, and has since released four full-length albums and four EPs.
