[edit] Song Information

"So Simple", musically continues the direction set by the album's first single "I'm Not Missing You", by having a R&B/Pop vibe to it. The song is basically based around the concept "less is more" and that life should be simple but we as human beings complicate it. This is illustrated by the lyrics present in both the pre-hook of the song and the chorus below.

True to life, True to me, Way it's got to be, (So simple, so simple, so simple... yeah). Live to love, love to be, absolutely free, (So simple, so simple, simple... simply me).

The single is due for release in January 26, 2007 in Europe and Australia at around the same time. It was already released in Southeast Asia in October 2006.

Ray Kay described the video for "So Simple":

Basically we are going to be in this fake, stylised world in the beginning of the video, then we are going to tear everything down and show the real Stacie in the middle of nature.
