CODY SIMPSON RELEASES NEW SINGLE “FLUENT” ALONGSIDE MUSIC VIDEO
Multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter Cody Simpson has released his new single “Fluent” via Range Music / BMG, accompanied by an original music video - listen HERE and watch video HERE. The release marks Simpson’s third single of 2026, following the breakout double release of “Baby Blue” and “When It Comes to Loving You” in March.
“Fluent” arrives as Simpson continues to build momentum following his highly anticipated musical comeback earlier this year. The track finds Cody in characteristically confident form — and carries an irony not lost on the artist himself: released while on vocal rest while awaiting surgery for a vocal injury, the song’s lyrical content speaks to communication, expression, and body language, themes that take on a wry new dimension given the circumstances. The accompanying music video, directed by Antony Muse, is out now alongside the single.
"Dealing with this vocal cord surgery has been a blow, but it won’t stop me dropping music. So glad I was able to put the finishing touches on Fluent, a track I’ve loved for some time. The irony of the lyrical content wasn’t lost on me either considering I’m on vocal rest, and all I’ve got right now is body language! Hah. Hope you enjoy this one.” – Cody Simpson
In 2020, Simpson made international headlines for his choice to step away from the entertainment industry to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an elite competitive swimmer. After moving back to his native Australia, Cody earned a spot on the Australian National Team in 2022 and competed at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, where he reached the 100m butterfly final and claimed Gold and Silver medals in the 4x100m men’s freestyle relay and 4×100 men’s medley relay respectively. He also captured multiple Australian Short Course Titles and a Silver medal in the 100m butterfly at the 2023 World Cup in Athens. After narrowly missing qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympic Team, Simpson announced his retirement from competitive swimming and his triumphant return to music.
A pop legend in his own right, Cody Simpson began his music career at just 13 years old after bedroom covers went viral on YouTube, landing a deal with Atlantic Records signed on his 13th birthday. He went on to tour with Justin Bieber and landed his sophomore album Surfer’s Paradise in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. His collaboration with Justin Bieber, “Home to Mama,” hit number one on the Billboard Social 50 and Trending 140 charts. A true multi-hyphenate, Simpson made his Broadway debut in 2018 as the male lead in Anastasia and most recently starred as Sky Masterson in Opera Australia’s 2025 production of Guys and Dolls. He also starred opposite Tanya Reynolds in Stan Australia’s To Kill All Men. Now signed to BMG and Range and back in Los Angeles, with more music on the way.
ABOUT CODY SIMPSON
Australian-born Cody Simpson is a true multi-hyphenate: recording artist, singer/songwriter, guitarist, performing artist, theatrical star, and champion swimmer. As a pre-teen, Cody began recording songs in his bedroom and posting them to YouTube. These clips quickly garnered millions of views and led him to a deal with Atlantic Records which he signed in New York City on his 13th Birthday. Emigrating to the U.S. with his family, he went on to create two Eps, ‘4U’, and ‘Coast to Coast’ and in the wake of his first full-length album, ‘Paradise’, the next year saw his second album ‘Surfer’s Paradise’ crack the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. Simpson went on to tour with Justin Bieber in the U.S., Europe and Australia. In 2015, he went independent and launched his own label, Coast House Records. He released his third studio album, ‘Free’ which marked the beginning of his departure from pop and into mature musical territory as a bonafide singer/songwriter and guitarist.
Possessing a keen interest in acting and musical theatre, he made his Broadway debut as Dmitry in ‘Anastasia’ in 2018 and closed the run in April 2019, for which he received rave reviews. 2020 marked a massive shift for Simpson. He most recently starred as Sky in Opera Australia’s production of Guys & Dolls at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in 2025, marking his Australian musical theatre debut, and starred opposite Tanya Reynolds in Stan Australia’s To Kill All Men.
A multiple-time Australian Age Champion swimmer as a youngster, Cody made international headlines in 2020 with his stunning return to his first love - swimming, dropping everything for 4 years to declare a noble commitment to what he described as “unfinished business”. He made the Australian Swim Team in 2022, and went on to make the 100m butterfly final at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. He won a Gold and Silver medal in the 4x100m men’s freestyle relay and the 4×100 men’s medley relay respectively. He has also won multiple Australian Short Course Titles and a Silver in the 100m butterfly at the 2023 World Cup in Athens. He released his fourth and latest studio album self- titled “Cody Simpson” in 2022, which he wrote and recorded in down-time from training. After narrowly missing qualification for the Paris Olympic Team in 2024, Cody announced his retirement from swimming and intent to return to the world of music and entertainment. He recently signed with Range Music and BMG and made his highly anticipated return to music with the release of two new singles, “Baby Blue” and “When It Comes to Loving You” with more new music expected in 2026.
