Let Me Down Easy

This country soul ballad about a guy confessing to his new woman that he's falling in love with her is the second single from American country artist Billy Currington's fourth studio album, Enjoy Yourself.

The song was penned by outside writers, like most of the other tracks on Enjoy Yourself. Currington explained why in an interview with 96.3 KSCS: "I planned on making an album kind of dedicated to the guys that have helped me out. I wanted to go back through their catalog. I had not written a lot in the past couple of years even though I've got a hundred songs waiting to be recorded that I've written in the past 10 years, but I don't know, I just thought it was a great opportunity to go say thank you to the guys that helped me out before I had a record deal, the ones who let me sing their demos and write with them now and then. I didn't get to take care of everybody, but I'm working on it. I only had 10 slots. Maybe next time."

The song was co-written by American country artist Mark Nesler, who is best known for penning Tim McGraw's 1998 hit "Just to See You Smile." Currington explained to 96.3 KSCS why he chose to record this song: "When I was going back through the guys that helped me out one of them was Mark Nesler, so I was requesting Mark Nesler songs and this was one that came through. It was a new song he had written, and I usually don't record something new because I want to live with it. But, it was very obvious that we matched. I didn't have to really think about it too much. It's just got that melody, lyrics that are very simple, sexy, loving and sweet. I just wanted to be a part of it. I feel like its one of our best on the album."
