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.
Don't Cry Your Heart Out
Cody Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't like the way he's got you raining all the time,
Put away your troubles by leaving him behind,
So every time you look up, clear blue sky,
But here he comes again like a cloud in your view
Blocking all of you light like only he could do,
Don't listen to his sorrys girl drop him drop him,
He really needs to stop it, cause I'm your only topic now,
With me you'll never in up in the same silly situations, no,
Don't you know that if you were to walk then I'll be here waiting,
Girl don't you cry your heart out, let me stop before you start out,
Don't need his explanations, no,
'Cause he don't really want to know about the way your feeling now,
'Cause I'm the one who's here for you no doubt,
So don't you cry your heart out,
Baby girl I would never tell you lies,
No crocodile tears, no messing with your mind,
We could talk forever, past the end of time,
I promise you a love that'll never make you blind,
But when I'm here with you not a cloud in your view,
Nothing blocking out your light, not like he used to do,
Don't listen to his sorrys girl, drop him drop him,
He really needs to stop it, cause I'm your only topic now,
With me you'll never in up in the same silly situations, no,
Don't you know that if you were to walk then I'll be here waiting, yeah,
Girl don't you cry your heart out,
Let me stop before you start out,
Don't need his explanations, no, (don't need him),
'Cause he don't really want to know about the way you feeling now,
'Cause I'm the one who's here for you no doubt,
So don't you cry your heart out,
Cry, cry, cry,
It's time for him to
'Cause you've already cried enough to put out the fires he left behind, yeah,

Every thing he ever did has come back on him look at us now,
Didn't I tell you so, it's his turn,

No doubt, so don't you cry your heart out,
Girl don't you cry your heart out,
'Cause I'm the one who's here for you no doubt,
So don't you cry your heart out.
