Last Christmas season, while she was going through "a really tough time," Jessica Simpson introduced her sister Ashlee to one of her favorite songs, Patty Griffin's "Let Him Fly."

"We laid there listening to the song and just cried and cried like babies," Jessica recalled. "In a lot of ways, my sister really gave me the strength to pull through this really hard time. And it was just laying there and being with her that got me through it. I knew everything would be OK. The song is about how sometimes you just have to know when to let something go. And that was that moment. And I had to sing it."

Simpson, who had just filed for divorce, went on to record her own rendition of the song, which closes out her fifth album, A Public Affair, due August 29. And unlike the title track — the LP's first single — there's no question "Let Him Fly" is a statement about her failed marriage to Nick Lachey.
