Jessica Simpson set to release single ‘Use My Heart Against Me’ after a long hiatus

Jessica Simpson is making her return to music. She has announced the release of her new single, Use My Heart Against Me, which is officially set to drop on February 21, 2025.

This marks Jessica Simpson’s first major musical project in years. Enthusiasts are speculating that it could be the beginning of her full-fledged comeback into the music industry.

Simpson was once a major figure in the global pop music scene. She was beloved for her early 2000s hits like I Wanna Love You Forever and With You. Her third album, In This Skin (2003), sold over 7 million copies worldwide. It made her pop career a notable one.

She debuted in 1999 with Sweet Kisses, positioning herself alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. However, it was the success of Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, her reality TV show with then-husband Nick Lachey, that turned her into a household name.

However, Simpson gradually stepped away from the music industry. She ventured into reality television, and acting, and built her billion-dollar fashion company. After an almost 15-year hiatus from album releases, she is ready to release her comeback single.

Jessica Simpson's musical comeback is fueled by her life

The timing of Simpson’s return is notable. Over the years, she has hinted at making new music, but her focus majorly remained on family and business. In her 2020 memoir, Open Book, she revealed that she stepped away from the industry to raise her children and build a life outside of fame.

However, her recent separation from her husband Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage might have affected her return to the music scene, is believed by many. A snippet of the song, which Jessica shared on her official X (formerly Twitter) page, features these lyrics:

"Go on, use my heart against me / Don’t miss you / Don’t confuse my love."

The X post that featured the sneak peek of her upcoming single, was captioned:

"USE MY HEART AGAINST ME. 2.21.25 "Secretly anticipatin' That you're takin' me with you"...Y’all head on over to http://JessicaSimpson.com/music to pre-save my first new tune, sneak a peek into my eyes’ mind and get a first look at what these soul vibes are feelin' like"

Fans were quick to weigh in on the post to share their excitement in the comments. Below are what some X users had to share:

""We used to pray for times like these.", expressed an enthusiatic fan.

"Her voice is so beautiful that her country album got me to actually LIKE country music.", lauded a second.

"OMG I am so exited. I will forever love & support you ma‘am.", commented a third.

"We are ready for you queen! Welcome back!!!", declared a fourth.

With Use My Heart Against Me, Jessica Simpson seems to be stepping into a new musical style. While she first gained fame as a pop singer, her upcoming work is said to be more introspective and emotionally driven.
