Simpson began to record songs in his bedroom during the summer of 2009 on YouTube, performing Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours", "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake, and his own songs, "One" and "Perfect". He was subsequently discovered on YouTube by Shawn Campbell, a Grammy-nominated record producer who has produced for Jay-Z and other artists and moved to the US in June 2010 to sign with Atlantic Records. His debut single, iYiYi (featuring. Flo Rida), was released in June 2010 and peaked in the top 20 in Australia and top 30 in New Zealand.
Simpson released two studio albums with Atlantic Records, Paradise (2012), and Surfers Paradise (2013), before departing the label due to creative differences in August 2014. His first independent release, 2015's Free, marked a shift from his teen pop music to a more acoustic rock singer/songwriter sound. In 2017 he formed a band called Cody Simpson and the Tide, and released the blues and surf-rock influenced EPs Wave One (2018) and Wave Two (2019) before splitting in 2019.
In 2019, Simpson returned to solo work, releasing the single Golden Thing on 18 October, a song he wrote about his then-girlfriend Miley Cyrus.
In December 2020, Simpson revealed on Instagram that he had qualified for the Australian Olympic trials in the 100m butterfly, but failed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics after finishing in 8th place in the trails in Adelaide in June 2021. He is currently training to make the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On 25 January 2022, Simpson released his first single in more than two years, Nice To Meet You, the first single off his upcoming 4th studio album, due to be released in early 2022.
No Ceiling
Cody Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Bang bang bang
Is the sound of my tools
You've got me taking down my roof
'Cause there ain't no limit on the heights we can go
When it comes to me and you
See you hit me where it hurts now
Got me where it hurts now
Never felt like this before
See it's a brand new thing
So no more thinking
Never ever felt so sure
When I'm away
No I can't concentrate
Thinking 'bout you non-stop
On my mind all day
Said to myself that I feel so lucky
I met someone who made me say
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
Bang bang bang
Is the sound of my heart
Every time I look at you
And it's bang bang bang
The sound of your heart
When you're looking at me too?
And when the love truth hits
No you feel no pain
Nothing's gonna be the same
See it's a brand new thing
So no more thinking
Cupid's gonna take an aim
When I'm away
No I can't concentrate
Thinking 'bout you non-stop
On my mind all day
Said to myself that I feel so lucky
I met someone who made me say:
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
Don't ever keep it baby
Don't ever keep it inside
Tell me what I'm doing wrong
If it's wrong, tell me how do I make it right
Rip the lid off life
Let's rip the lid off love
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
I see there ain't no ceiling
On the way that you got me feeling
And every night we're in the moonlight dreaming
That we can go all the way
This love could reach the sky
