By 2017, several of Cutler's songs (including "Your Shirt") garnered numerous streams and led to collaborations that year with acts like Louis The Child ("Slow Down Love"), ayokay ("The Shine"), Kidswaste ("Tonight"), and Kasbo ("Found You"). She signed a record deal with Ultra Records in late 2017 and released her first EP, "Snow In October". After touring with Quinn XCII in early 2018, Cutler released two independent mixtapes, "Sleeping With Roses" and "Sleeping With Roses II." She also went on her first two nationwide headlining tours in support of each mixtape, both of which sold out in advance.
In March 2019, she signed to Republic Records and released a joint EP, "brent", with friend and label-mate Jeremy Zucker shortly after. The EP features the single "you were good to me", which they performed live on The Today Show. It was also pressed on a limited edition white vinyl through the retailer Urban Outfitters. It was limited to a run of 1000 copies pressed. In May 2019, Cutler collaborated with Kygo on the single, "Not OK". It became her third collaboration (after "Slow Down Love" and "The Shine") to appear on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, peaking at number 9.
In late 2019, Cutler began releasing new singles, including "How To Be Human" and "Lucky" (featuring Alexander 23). Along with "Sad Tonight", the songs served as the primary singles for her debut studio album, How To Be Human, released on January 17, 2020 by Republic Records. On January 23, 2020 she performed the lead single, "Sad Tonight", on Late Night With Seth Meyers. That song became Cutler's first entry on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, peaking at number 32 in March 2020. In April 2020, she was featured alongside Quinn XCII on the Louis The Child track, "Little Things".
Cutler was also slated to perform at Coachella 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, she released a version of her song "Crazier Things" which features Noah Kahan.

Easy
Chelsea Cutler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe then I'd be the person that you wish for
When you're lying next to me
'Cause I thought that you meant it
When you said you wanted what I want
What I want
I hate myself
Yeah, I know you well
And I know that all I'm going to get is hurt
Is hurt
You want somebody
That you can love
Only when it's easy for you
If it's just convenient for you
You want somebody
That you can love
All you want is easy, baby
You don't really need me, baby
If I'm being honest
I don't feel like you've kept your end of the promise
That we made at our best
'Cause I thought that you meant it
When you said you wanted what I want
What I want, mm
You want somebody
That you can love
Only when it's easy for you
If it's just convenient for you
You want somebody
That you can love
All you want is easy, baby
You don't really need me, baby
I hate myself
The way I give you every chance you don't deserve
Yeah, I know you well
And I know that all I'm going to get is hurt
Is hurt
You want somebody
That you can love
Only when it's easy for you
If it's just convenient for you
You want somebody
That you can love
All you want is easy, baby
You don't really need me, baby
In Chelsea Cutler's song "Easy," the lyrics delve into the complexities of love and the disappointment that can come from unfulfilled expectations. The first verses express a longing for a simpler kind of love, where both parties are on the same page and truly want the same things. The singer wishes that love was uncomplicated, as it would make it easier for them to be the person their partner desires. However, they quickly realize that their partner may not have been truthful in their declarations, leading to a sense of self-doubt and frustration with themselves.
The chorus highlights the disconnect between the singer's desire for a genuine and committed love, and their partner's preference for a love that is convenient and easy. The singer feels like they are being taken for granted, that their partner only wants them when it suits them. They express their understanding of their partner's behavior, recognizing that they only want someone who requires minimal effort and doesn't truly need them.
The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer questioning whether their partner has truly honored their promises and commitments. The lyrics reflect a sense of disappointment and betrayal, as the singer feels like their partner may have misled them. They are frustrated with themselves for continuously giving their partner chances that they don't deserve, aware that they will ultimately end up hurt.
Overall, "Easy" portrays a one-sided and unhealthy relationship dynamic, where one person desires a deeper and more authentic love while the other seeks convenience and ease. The lyrics capture the emotional rollercoaster and turmoil that can arise from unbalanced expectations and unfulfilled promises.

The story lines in Chelsea's song make her emotions so clear and easy to grasp. Even if I can't relate to the experience, the lyrics make everything come to life. I'm always so fascinated by her choice of words. It's not too poetic or anything. It's raw and simple and i like that
