It was written by K. Michelle, Bianca "Blush" 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.

I've been thinking bout ya
Are you thinking bout me?
I know I went crazy
But you were wrong

I apologize, I'll let it go tonight
Forgive me and I'll forgive you

'Cause what you gon' do
When I put that pretty thing on you
I usually don't do this
But I'll do it for you

Oh, baby 'cause
Missing you is way too hard to do
I'd rather be fucking you
Do you mind if I give you love
'Cause I just wanna give you love
Won't you tell me if I'm doing too much
Missing you is way too hard to do

Lately I've been in my feelings
Dealing with the daily thoughts of missing you
I ain't dialing but my body's calling for ya
Breaking down
Gotta give it to you

'Cause what you gon' do
When I put that pretty thing on you
I usually don't do this
But I'll do it for you

Oh, baby 'cause
Missing you is way too hard to do
I'd rather be fucking you
Do you mind if I give you love
'Cause I just wanna give you love
Won't you tell me if I'm doing too much
Missing you is way too hard

Don't get along all the time
Just want your body on mine
And you can call it what you wanna
But I'm a call you when I want it
Fishnets and trench coats
Underneath, it's a bomb
American's most wanted
Errbody upon on it

What you gon' do
When I put that pretty thing on you
I usually don't do this
But I'll do it for you

Oh, baby 'cause
Missing you is way too hard to do
I'd rather be fucking you
Do you mind if I give you love
'Cause I just wanna give you love
Won't you tell me if I'm doing too much
Missing you is way too hard to do
