Jessica Simpson Drops Explosive New Song—Is She Calling Out Eric Johnson’s Cheating?

Jessica Simpson is back with new music, and her latest song, “Leave,” has everyone talking. Released on March 7, 2025, as part of her upcoming EP Nashville Canyon: Part 1, the emotional track dives deep into heartbreak, betrayal, and the pain of moving on. Many fans believe the lyrics hint at her ex-husband, Eric Johnson, and the reason behind their recent split.

Lyrics That Tell a Story

From the very first verse, “Leave” paints a vivid picture of loss and betrayal. Some of the most talked-about lyrics include:

“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.”

Later in the song, she takes it even further:

“Your weakness made me lonely / Unholy matrimony / Did you do to her what you did to me? / Was she on her knees? / Oh, she’s everything but me.”

The raw, painful words suggest Simpson may be addressing infidelity, leaving fans to wonder if Johnson had been unfaithful during their marriage.

A Marriage That Was Falling Apart

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson, who share three children, Maxwell (12), Ace (11), and Birdie (5), announced their separation in January 2025 after 10 years together. The couple had been a fan favorite, but over the past year, rumors had been swirling about their relationship troubles.

Eagle-eyed fans had already suspected something was wrong when Simpson was seen without her wedding ring on multiple occasions. Additionally, she and Johnson stopped sharing pictures together on social media, fueling speculation that their marriage was in trouble long before they made the split official.

While neither has publicly addressed the specific reasons behind their separation, “Leave” has people convinced that Simpson is finally telling her side of the story.

Healing Through Music

For Simpson, writing “Leave” wasn’t just about making music it was about healing. In a behind-the-scenes video, she admitted that writing the song was painful but necessary.

“This was a hard lyric for me to write. It was tapping into some stuff that was scary to tap into. But I needed to.”

Music has always been a way for Simpson to express herself, and this song is no exception.

How Fans and Critics Are Reacting

Since its release, “Leave” has sparked an overwhelming response from fans and critics alike. Many listeners have praised Simpson’s honesty and vulnerability, calling the song one of her most powerful yet. On social media, fans are flooding her comments with messages of support, with some even sharing their own experiences of heartbreak and betrayal.

Music critics are also taking notice, calling “Leave” a bold and emotional return for Simpson. Some even suggest this could mark a major comeback in her career.

What’s Next for Jessica?

Jessica Simpson’s full EP, Nashville Canyon: Part 1, is set to drop on March 21, 2025. If “Leave” is any indication, fans can expect more deeply personal and emotional songs from the project.

As Simpson steps into this new chapter of her life, one thing is clear, she’s not holding back. And if her latest song is any proof, she’s coming out stronger than ever.
