What is this song about?
“Particles” is a song about overcoming addiction but still being willing to change for the sake of a loved one.

Previous Simpsons songs
Simpson’s most recent music was recorded in February 2020 for the audiobook version of his memoir, Open Book, for which he recorded six songs. With the exception of Happy Christmas, which she released in 2010, Simpson hadn’t released new music in nearly a decade.
In an interview with ET ahead of the release of her memoir, Jessica Simpson said writing those six songs was cathartic for her as she battled alcoholism.
“It was the music that inspired me to clean up and write the book,” he continued. “Even though I was comfortable in my own home, I knew I needed to drink to numb the agony. I was about to experiment to write.”
