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.

I-I-I-I-I, you-ou-ou-ou-ou
I like this right here
Word on the street is that you’re single (so)
So baby have you heard my single?
It goes la di da and it hits like a cymbal
I drew a heart with my finger on your window
What’s up?
Even with your hair up
Girl, what’s up?
Even in your sweat pants
Girl, what’s up?
Even when you wake up without any make-up, I’m in love
'Cause I’m
So tired of the same old things
I’ma need something new in my life, yeah
So tired of the same old games
Yeah it’s time I started feeling right
'Cause you-ou-ou-ou-ou, got me good girl
I-I-I-I-I, feel so good girl
You-ou-ou-ou-ou, got me good
And you know that I need you so bad
You said you’re talking to your ex-boy (well)
Well just remember he’s your ex-boy (uh)
Well maybe I could be your next boy
And just remember that you’re better than the rest
So baby, what’s up?
Even in your work clothes
Girl, what’s up?
You know how to work clothes
Girl, what’s up?
Girl, you got me lost in your eyes, I’m in paradise
What’s up?

Cody Simpson's "Got Me Good" expresses the excitement and infatuation of meeting someone new and how they can change your perspective on life, making you feel alive and ready for a new adventure. The song begins with the concept of rumors and how the word on the street is that the person he is interested in is single. He then mentions his own single, "La Di Da," and how it hits like a cymbal, playing with the idea that his music might be the key to winning her over. The line "I drew a heart with my finger on your window" suggests a playful, childlike innocence.
The chorus of the song repeats, "You got me good, girl/I feel so good, girl/You got me good," highlighting the idea that this new love interest has his entire attention and has made him feel true happiness. In the second verse, Cody says that even when she's not dressed up or wearing makeup, he's still in love with her, suggesting that it's not her appearance but rather her personality that has captured him. He also references her ex-boyfriend but reminds her that Cody himself could be her next boyfriend and that she deserves the best.
The final section of the song has Cody wanting to know more about his love interest, wanting to find out what drives her wild, and feeling like he's dreaming but not wanting to wake up. The repetition of "So bad, so bad" at the end implies the urgency and passion that he feels for her. Overall, the song is a fun and catchy celebration of new love and how one person can make everything feel better.
