Jessica Simpson Drops 'Fade' After Split

Jessica Simpson has released a new song titled 'Fade,' widely believed to address her recent split from husband Eric Johnson after 10 years of marriage. The track features lyrics about heartbreak, broken promises, and moving on, with lines such as 'You’re as empty as your promise / Go sleep alone in the bed you made' and 'You can just wait on me / I won’t be around.' Although Simpson does not mention Johnson by name, the timing and content strongly suggest it is inspired by their separation, which she described as a 'painful situation.' Simpson has shared that she wrote the song immediately after an intense emotional moment, entering the studio with tears still on her cheeks. She co-wrote 'Fade' with Trent Dabbs and Teresa LaBarbera, describing it as a heartfelt reflection on losing someone she loved. 'Fade' is the first single from her upcoming EP, Nashville Canyon, Part 2, set for release in September 2025.
