rdf:langString "Hard to Do" is a song by American singer K. Michelle from her second studio album Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? (2014). The song was released in 2015 as the fourth single from the album. It was written by K. Michelle, Bianca Atterberry, Maurice Simmonds, Julian Jackson, Brian James, Janice Johnson, and Raphael Saadiq, and was produced by American record producer Soundz. "Hard to Do" is a soul ballad with lyrics revolving around missing a partner following a break-up and the desire to have sex with them. One commentator noted that the single's melody was reminiscent of American girl group Total's single "Kissin' You" from their 1996 self-entitled album. Critical response to "Hard to Do" was positive, with music critics highlighting its content and Michelle's vocals. It peaked at number 23 on the Hot R&B Songs Billboard chart. To promote the single, a music video was released on May 18, 2015 through VH1. In the video, Michelle performs the track with various exotic animals while dressed in risqué clothing. Critics positively responded to the video, with Michelle's sexual image receiving attention. Michelle performed "Hard to Do" at the BET Awards 2015, as part of a set with American singers Tamar Braxton and Patti LaBelle, and at the Power 107 Bash.
