Simpson has been sober for going on nine years.
"I didn't understand all of the traumas that I was holding onto," Sompson said. "It was really painful, and once I started searching in myself to find what I could reveal, because I became somebody that I was afraid of."
Addiction turned her into "somebody that I just did not know, and did not understand, and I was a mother and I felt like I wasn't being a good role model."
As a mother of three kids, Simpson decided to get sober for them. But before that, the singer said that she went through a period of feeling very alone. She started drinking to numb the pain.
"It wasn't until a year later that I realized that the drinking wasn't numbing my pain, it was actually causing more pain," Simpson said. "It was just a crutch that wasn't working."

So she decided to work and became sober.
She said, "And in all honesty, I'm just a work in progress, and I celebrate each and every day that I feel alive in my body and I'm very proud of myself and so it felt right to share this song with you. I want all of you to know that you should have a little grace for yourself and everything is going to be okay if you just give it all away. That's what this song is about."
Simpson first declared her sobriety in a November 2025 Instagram post. She revealed that she made the choice to cut out alcohol.
"[Eight] years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self-sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing," she wrote at the time. "Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God's purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams, and chased my circulating fears of complacency."
"Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith," she continued. "Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see. I'm so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender."
