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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll make you do some crazy things
The thing about love, love, love
Is you know it when you feel it, feel it
The thing about love, love, love
It'll make you do some crazy things
The thing about love, love, love
Is you know it when you feel it
And that's the thing about love
Everybody tells us that we are too young for love
But they don't know what it is like to be young and us
Age isn't nothing but a number
And my love lasts longer than the summer
So let's move them haters up out of the way, ay
The thing about love, love, love
It'll make you do some crazy things (crazy things)
The thing about love, love, love
Is you know it when you feel it, feel it
The thing about love, love, love
It'll make you do some crazy things
The thing about love love love
Is you know it when you feel it (feel it)
And that's the thing about love
When I think about you I think of forever
Your love keeps me warm like I'm wearing a sweater
It don't take rocket science to know
That my heart belong to you for sure
And if you are where love is then I want to go
The thing about love, love, love

And that's the thing about love
Love can be amazing
So let me start by saying
Just let me start by giving all the love I have
Hey love is a lovely thing
So come on let's embrace it
You know that it could take us to another space, another place
