Jessica Simpson Sings Her Heart Out, Seemingly Calling Out Estranged Husband in New Song

Jessica Simpson has turned heartbreak into art, releasing a new track, "Leave," that seems to take direct aim at her estranged husband, Eric Johnson. The couple, who were married for 10 years, announced their separation earlier this year.

The 44-year-old pop star didn’t hold back in her lyrics, singing lines like, "What we had was magic/Now you made it tragic/Giving her what you gave to me." The song digs deep, with Simpson asking, "Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?" If that doesn’t make your jaw drop, I don’t know what will.

Simpson and Johnson, who share three children together, tied the knot in 2014. However, cracks in their relationship became apparent in January when Simpson revealed the two had been living separately. Johnson was notably spotted without his wedding ring last November, just as Simpson was beginning to tease her musical comeback.

Accompanying the release of "Leave" was a behind-the-scenes video where Simpson opened up about the process of creating the song. "It was tapping into some stuff that was scary… but I needed to get it out," she shared. Her music team also commented on how much Simpson has grown. A&R executive Teresa LaBarbera described her as stepping "back into music with a real confidence," while vocal producer Bart Schoudel noted she had "so much s--- to say." Clearly, Simpson is channeling her experiences into her art, and it’s paying off.

Simpson has previously spoken about how music has been a form of therapy for her during this challenging time. "I’ve grown up so much. I can handle so much," she told People magazine. While she acknowledged the pain of her separation, she also expressed gratitude for her children and an ongoing connection with Johnson, saying, "He’s still very much a part of my life and will always be." That’s some next-level maturity right there.

In her social media posts leading up to the song’s release, Simpson hinted at her emotional journey, describing the music as the "soundtrack of my soul." It’s clear she’s pouring her heart into her craft, and fans are here for it.

For those wondering if Simpson’s return to music signals a new chapter in her career, it certainly seems like it. After building a fashion empire and raising her kids, she’s now reclaiming her space in the music world with a vengeance.
