Jessica’s Debut Country Album Drops This Weekend

Jessica Simpson recently sat down for an interview with Pop Tarts and opened up on details about her life that many of her fans were not aware of. She talked about the first time she heard the song “Remember That” and despite not having written the track, she still identified with the experience of abuse:

“It was one of those moments that just moved me to tears — it’s empowering. It’s about that woman really standing up for herself in an abusive situation whether it is mental, physical, emotional. Everybody has dealt with abuse in some sort of way.

“I thought it was important to tell women to take their heart and run as fast as they can if they’re in that situation, because you’re better than that.”

She admits to being affected when she reads or hears that she is being trashed in the tabloids:

“I am a very open person, but how the media is these days makes it hard. Unfortunately people want to believe bad stuff and I just don’t understand that — sometimes it is like a personal attack,” Jessica said sadly. “It’s a challenge for me to act like it’s just part of my career. If they knew your heart, they wouldn’t be talking about you like this.”

Her mood changed when the topic of becoming an auntie, and someday, a mommy came up:

“I would love to be making records and making babies and hopefully I’m married in 10 years,” Simpson added. “I have the dreams of every normal person. I want to be a great aunt.”

Her debut country music album “Do You Know” drops this weekend.
