Overview
- Simpson, who spoke at Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland, California, on Monday, told the audience she realized drinking “wasn't numbing my pain” and “was actually causing more pain.”
- She introduced an unreleased track titled “Give It All Away,” which multiple outlets report was co-written by songwriter Linda Perry.
- Simpson has been publicly sober since late 2017 and marked eight years of sobriety in November 2025 with an Instagram reflection about choosing faith and confronting self-sabotage.
- Onstage she described herself as “a work in progress,” said confronting buried trauma left her feeling afraid of who she had become, and urged fans to give themselves grace.
- The comments and the new song signal that Simpson is using live performances to process recovery and that her upcoming music and tour appearances may continue to draw on those personal themes.
