As one of the nearly unparalleled early fan-favorite works by the band, "Easy Come, Easy Go!" was a first in many regards. It was here that Tak began his trademark routine of composing music and melodies with only an acoustic guitar. Ultimately, the song came about because Tak felt he needed to do "something new and soon". In fact, there was a concern shared by staff members and record store owners that the song would not be a hit due to its somber pace that was not in accordance with the upbeat music of the era. Tak wanted to take risks from that point, feeling that doing another album in the same vein as their previous ones would be too restricting, and this led to the next album to reflect this ideal with its title of RISKY. Tak claimed this was the band's "first time doing a pure, 8-beat song". This was a grand departure from their dance roots and he was openly vocal with being anxious at the prospect of it not working out. The lyrics are an encouraging chorale to youth and were written from the perspective of a male speaking to a female companion undergoing hard times. In Be With! Vol. 86 from 2010, Koshi commented that "Easy Come, Easy Go!" was an "easy B'z song to sing along to with fans". Later, in 2011's Be With! Vol. 90, Tak claimed it was a simple but fun tune that student bands could also play and later, in 2012's Vol. 94, recommended it as a good beginner choice for learning B'z songs on acoustic guitar.
