The Journey

When performing at a concert in California, the singer took a moment to reflect on her battle with alcohol abuse

When taking the stage at Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, California, on Monday evening, Jessica Simpson took a moment to reflect on her more than eight years of sobriety with the audience.

Before performing her unreleased song, titled “Give It All Away,” Simpson shared insight behind the inspiration for the new track and said that while she has come a long way, she’s still a “work in progress.”

“I didn’t understand all of the traumas that I was holding onto. And it was really painful once I started searching in myself to find what I could reveal,” Simpson said. “I became somebody that I was afraid of, somebody I did not know and understand.”
