Jessica Simpson’s New Song Hints at Cheating Ex Amid Divorce from Eric Johnson
Jessica Simpson is getting personal with her latest single, seemingly shedding light on her split from husband Eric Johnson.
The 44-year-old singer and actress released “Leave” on Friday, March 7, as part of her upcoming EP, Nashville Canyon: Part 1. The emotional track comes just two months after she announced her separation from Johnson, 45, following a decade of marriage.
In the lyrics, Simpson addresses a former lover who appears to have moved on with another woman.
“What we had was magic / Now you made it tragic / Giving her what you gave to me / Now the well that you drink from’s empty,” she sings. The chorus delivers a powerful message of resilience: “I am stronger on my own / So hold on, I’m letting you go.”
The song’s release follows Simpson’s January statement confirming she and Johnson had been “living separately, navigating a painful situation” while prioritizing their three children—Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5.
Despite the split, Simpson told PEOPLE last month that she and Johnson remain committed co-parents.
“At least I have my children, and I still have Eric. He’s still very much a part of my life and always will be,” she shared.
Reflecting on the making of her new music, Simpson described it as a therapeutic process:
“My heart was completely broken, but I had to keep going. Thank God for Nashville,” she said. “I’ve grown so much. I’m strong—I just think I’m meant to love a lot of people in my life.”
Nashville Canyon: Part 1 marks Simpson’s return to music after 15 years, with the full EP set for release on March 21.
