Jessica Simpson has released her latest song, “Fade.” It’s a sad song that seems to be about the end of her marriage to Eric Johnson. The song, which came out on Tuesday, has lyrics that suggest “empty promises” and a relationship that has run its course, which are things that have happened to her recently.
“Fade” Unveils Heartbreak
Simpson’s new song “Fade” is about being disappointed and how hard it is to quit a relationship. “You can always say you love me / That doesn’t mean that I feel loved” and “Your words mean nothing now” are two phrases that suggest a spouse whose words don’t matter anymore. The song also talks on how broken pledges may still affect people. Simpson says, “You’re as empty as your promise / Go sleep alone in the bed you made.”
Key takeaways
People think that Jessica Simpson’s new song “Fade” is about her marriage to Eric Johnson.
The words seem to be about promises that were broken and emotional estrangement.
Simpson said that the process of writing songs came from a “heavy, emotional moment.”
A Personal Prayer in Song
Simpson said that “Fade” came from a very emotional time in his life and that penning the song helped him feel better. She said in a press release, “This song came straight from my heart.” “I walked into the studio with tears still on my cheeks, and what came out was a prayer.” She went on to say that the song is about “watching someone you love slip away in real time while trying to hold on to something that’s already gone.”
A New Musical Chapter
“Fade” is the first song from Simpson’s new EP, “Nashville Canyon, Pt. 2,” which will be out on September 4, 2025. This release comes after her last EP, “Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1,” which came out soon after it was disclosed in January that she and Johnson were no longer together. The pair has three kids together and has been married for ten years.
Navigating Post-Breakup Life
Simpson has been open about her experiences dating after her breakup with Johnson, in addition to her new music. She recently said it was a “rough road” and said she would rather be put up by friends than use dating apps. Even if things are tough for them personally, sources say that Simpson and Johnson are getting along for the sake of their kids and focusing on co-parenting.
