The new music marks just the beginning of what fans can expect to be a big year from the singer.
“Baby Blue” is accompanied by a music video HERE, directed by Antony Muse.

As the song ends, Cody walks into a darkened building and the screen cuts to black. The video will be followed by a forthcoming “When It Comes to Loving You” video, conceived as a second act to “Baby Blue,” together bolding announcing Simpson’s return to music.
“In my return to music, I had been experimenting in the studio for almost a year when one day I came in extremely open hearted and open-minded, sensing something vibrant and new wanted to come through. I intended to create something that felt like the coming of spring, like a pure expression of joy whilst sounding cool enough to throw on driving down the highway with your mates. I grabbed a guitar next to my friend and producer Harrison Borts on synths, and this is where the sound that birthed ‘Baby Blue’ and ‘When It Comes to Loving You’ was born. I hope everybody enjoys listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them. I’ve been buzzing ever since!” – Cody Simpson
