Jessica Simpson, recently divorced from Eric Johnson, released her breakup single "Leave", part of her upcoming EP "Nashville Canyon: Part 1". The song explores themes of betrayal, hinting at infidelity, highlighting the pain of her separation after a decade of marriage. Simpson's lyrics express her strength and decision to move on, revealing her personal journey in the creative process. In a YouTube video, she reflected on the challenge of writing the song, emphasizing the importance of subtle communication through music rather than yelling.
"What we had was magic/ Now you've made it tragic/ Giving her what you gave to me/ Now the well that you drank from's empty." "Your weakness made me lonely/ Unholy matrimony/ Did you do to her what you did to me?/ Was she on her knees?"
"We're not doing this again/ I, I want you to leave/ I don't even want to breathe the air you breathe/I'd rather die/ Than let you be inside me with her on your mind/ I am stronger on my own/ So I'm letting you go."
"Leave is a hard lyric for me to write... It was tapping into some stuff that was scary to tap into. But I needed to get it out."
"There's so much power in being able to be subtle. And that's probably the best lesson I've had in this whole process. Is that, music is about communicating, not yelling at people."
