Jessica Simpson releases her first song in over 16 years

Jessica Simpson has officially released her first song in over 16 years.

She titled the news song “Use My Heart Against Me”, which marks her return to music and her first song following her split from husband Eric Johnson.

Some of the lyrics says: ‘Go on / Use my heart against me / Double down like I’m your whisky.

‘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.’

The last time Jessica released original music was in September 2008.

Her 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.
