"Easier to Walk Away" is a song by the English musician Elton John, written by him along with Bernie Taupin and the second and final single released from the Rocket Records 2-CD retrospective The Very Best of Elton John, issued largely in overseas markets excluding the United States, where the more expansive box set To Be Continued... was issued. The song reached the Top 75 and Top 20 in some countries. A music video was made to promote the song composed of some Elton John music videos from 1978 to 1990 and some stock footage from various decades.

This song tackles escaping an unfaithful relationship with his wife (in which the singer was involved) by finding another place to release his emotions about their relationship peacefully.
