Country Star’s Heartbreaking Loss: Mother Dies Before Last Show
Musician Billy Strings took the stage just hours after the death of his mother Debra Apostal on Friday, telling concertgoers ‘that’s…
At midnight, Jessica Simpson officially released her first song in 15 years, Use My Heart Against Me.
‘Go on / Use my heart against me / Double down like I’m your whisky,’ the 44-year-old former pop star sang with her three-octave soprano pipes.
‘Drink me in until your tipsy / One and done / On the run / Restless soul / Rattle the reverb / Holy Ghost of a believer / I’m the key and you’re the keeper / Here I come / Here I come / Don’t misuse / Don’t confuse / My love.’
Jessica’s three-minute comeback track ‘was inspired by the artists from the roots of rock ‘n’ roll like Betty James, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry to name a few.’
Simpson – who boasts 15.1M social media followers – went on to say that ‘music makes you un-become to become’ and her ‘soul has been pulled to the very place it belongs.’
‘To the girl I was, I love you. To the woman I am, I am proud of you. To the woman I am becoming, I am excited for you… let’s do this… it’s go time!’ the Jessica Simpson Collection CEO captioned her single announcement.

In the behind-the-scenes video of the recording process, Jessica could be seen being eccentric and goofing around like she did on her MTV reality show Newlyweds (2003-2005) with ex-husband Nick Lachey.
‘I love this mic! It’s so cute! I just want to lick it like a lollipop,’ Simpson said before repeatedly sticking her tongue out towards the microphone.
The platinum-blonde Texan – who released a cover of Nothing but Thieves’ Particles in 2021 – said Nashville has always been her place of self-discovery as far back as age 14 when she recorded a gospel record there.
‘It’s given me a way to connect my words to my actual voice and there’s a lot of beauty in that and there’s a lot of light in that,’ Jessica gushed.
‘The beauty of music [is] you’re always going to be discovering and that’s why artists want to keep writing and keep putting out music.’
Simpson – who celebrated seven years of sobriety on November 1 – ‘nervously’ mined material from her ‘plethora of journals’ including the title Use My Heart Against Me: ‘I had come in with that line.’
Use My Heart Against Me marks the first single on the Walmart collaborator’s upcoming EP – Nashville Canyon, Part 1 – which drops on March 21.
Last month, Jessica put her $11.5M seven-bedroom Hidden Hills marital mansion on the real estate market for $17.9M and confirmed to People that she and second husband Eric Johnson were officially ending their 10-year marriage.
Simpson is eager to perform for the first time for her three children – daughter Maxwell, 12; daughter Birdie, turning 6 next month; and son Ace, 11 – with the 45-year-old retired NFL tight end.
Eric was still technically married to former pole-dancing instructor Keri D’Angelo when he originally met Jessica through a mutual friend at her May 2010 house party, and he finalized his divorce just five months later.
