The band has released four albums since their formation: "Peace, Love, Death Metal" (2004), "Death by Sexy" (2006), "Heart On" (2008) and "Zipper Down" (2015). Despite their band name, Eagles of Death Metal is not a death metal band. Hughes stated that a friend was introducing Josh Homme to the death metal genre. When he played a song by the Polish band Vader and made a claim that the song was within the death metal genre, Homme then referred to Vader as "The Eagles of Death Metal". After hearing this phrase, he wondered what a cross between the Eagles and a death metal band would sound like. In a 2003 interview Homme described the sound of the band as a combination of "bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals." Jesse Hughes is known by fans for his enthusiastic interaction with audiences at live performances.
While the band were on stage at Le Bataclan in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015, the audience was attacked by terrorists wielding automatic rifles, grenades and suicide vests. The death toll inside the venue was 89, including the group's merchandise manager, but the band members made it safely out of the venue via a door backstage.

Any man I want I'll take him

Do do do doo it's so easy
You're the man I want but I can't make you mine mine mine

The lyrics of Eagles of Death Metal's song, So Easy, appear to be about a woman who is confident in her ability to attract any man she desires. She is telling a particular man, whom she labels as the one she wants, that he should make a move towards her and make a commitment.

She perceives the whole situation as an easy task since, in her eyes, she can have anyone she desires. When she states, "I hear you praying, it's not easy, you're the man I want, but I can't make you mine mine mine," it appears that despite her confidence, she still has some doubt and fears that he may not reciprocate her feelings or that something might hinder her from acquiring him.
The repetition of 'less talking, let's see action' shows her eagerness and willingness to get what she wants, which is this man. At the same time, it suggests frustration since it seems like nothing is happening. She demands that he understands that it's time to commit and that they need to stick to the plan. The mention of the plan could mean that she has planned or strategized a way to have him, and she wants him to follow through with it.
In conclusion, the lyrics of So Easy by Eagles of Death Metal portray a woman who is confident in her ability to pursue what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. It's evident that she has some doubts and fears, but that does not stop her from pursuing her desire.
