Jessica Simpson in 2025With Nashville Canyon, Simpson — who told PEOPLE in February that she felt like a "show pony" — wanted to break free from the pressure she felt early in her career as a pop musician.
"I was told who I was as an artist, who I was as a singer, and what words I should be singing and exactly how," she said at the time. "Note for note. Riff for riff."

"She said, ‘You know that song by Hank Williams, 'I Saw the Light?' It’s my favorite song and I want to go where the light is. I want to be there on my 11th birthday, it just feels like that’s what I’m supposed to do," Simpson told PEOPLE.

During their trip to Franklin, outside of Nashville, Maxwell asked Simpson to sing "I Saw The Light" instead of "Happy Birthday" to wake her up. "I got chills all over my body," Simpson recalled.
