Simpsons Earlier Songs
Simpson’s most recent music was recorded in February 2020 for the audiobook version of her memoir, Open Book, for which she recorded six songs. With the exception of Happy Christmas, which she released in 2010, Simpson hadn’t released new music in nearly a decade.
In an interview with ET ahead of the release of her memoir, Jessica Simpson said that writing those six songs was cathartic for her as she battled alcoholism.
“It was the music that inspired me to get clean and write the book,” she continued. “Even though I was comfortable in my own home, I knew I needed to drink to numb the agony. I was about to experience in order to write.”
