LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jessica Simpson is taking a turn from her pop roots and kicking it up country style with her new single, "Come on Over."
"I am a country girl," she told Billboard in December. "I grew up in Texas, and country music was what I listened to. I always wanted to make a country album, but I wanted to wait until the time was right."

On the new single, Jessica sings in a southern twang, "Just come on over/I need you now/I need you bad/I need you baby looking just like that."
As for some of her country inspirations, Jessica said she admires the work of Martina McBride, Shania Twain, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire.
