Jessica Simpson has risen from her musical slumber! That’s right, after 16 long years—roughly the same amount of time it takes to find a matching sock in the dryer—Jessica has blessed our ears with a brand-new song, “Use My Heart Against Me.”
At the seasoned age of 44 (which in pop star years is practically ancient, but in real life is thriving), Jessica is making her grand return to the music scene. And guess what? She’s doing it post-breakup! That’s right, her first song in over a decade comes on the heels of her split from husband Eric Johnson. Coincidence? Probably not. Heartbreak fuels some of the best bangers—just ask Adele, Taylor Swift, or literally any country singer ever.
The last time Jessica released original music, the world was a different place. It was 2008: iPhones had home buttons, Twitter was just a baby, and people still used MySpace unironically. Now, in 2025, she’s making a comeback like a true pop culture phoenix.
Jessica took to Instagram to drop some deep, soul-searching wisdom, saying:
“Music makes you un-become to become, and through this process, my soul has been pulled to the very place it belongs.”
Translation: I missed singing, y’all!
She also sent a heartfelt message to herself:
“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…”
Honestly, this sounds like an emotional voicemail you leave yourself after two glasses of wine and an inspirational Pinterest binge. But hey, we love the energy!
The song is part of her upcoming EP, Nashville Canyon, Part 1—because nothing says I’m back, baby! like a dramatic, multi-part musical saga.
So, what are you waiting for? Hit play and let Jessica Simpson take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, nostalgia, and probably some intense hair-flipping moments.
