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.
Surfboard
Cody Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the kid from out of town, try to get me some
I asked her how her night's been
She says let's go for a night swim
And you know what she meant
So come on
Let the ocean takes us away
Till we see the daylight
Come
And I know that it's getting late
But we wanna stay
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board (Gone ride it, surfboard)
Surfboard
We woke on the beach down in Mexico
She asked me how we got here and I don't know oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We got back in the water
The waves were crashing on her
And you know, oh
How it goes
So come on
Let the ocean takes us away
Till we see the daylight
Come
And I know that it's getting late
But we wanna stay
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board (Gone ride it, surfboard)
Surfboard
Summer lust under Summer dusk
She told 'em girls can't surf with us
Surf with us, can't surf with us
Salt's on her skin
Left me wanting more on the shore
Love beach boys like 64, 64
Gone ride on my brr brr
Surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board-board-board-board-board-board
She on my surfboard board (Go ride it, surfboard)
Surfboard
Surfboard
The lyrics of Cody Simpson's song Surfboard tells the story of a young couple who have a romantic night swim in the ocean. The first few lines indicate that the girl is caught up in the new California love and the guy, who is from out of town, is trying to get her attention. They initiate conversation, and she asks him to join her for a night swim, and he agrees. The next lines encourage the listener to come along with them and allow the ocean to take them away until daylight arrives.
Following that, the chorus focuses on the girl's interaction with the surfboard. It is clear that the girl is interested in surfing, and she is on top of the surfboard, and it looks like they'll ride it together. The following verse describes how the couple wakes up on a Mexican beach, and the guy has no clue how they got there; it seems they had fun throughout the night. The song concludes with the two of them continuing their night swim in the ocean and the chorus repeating.
