Ashlee Simpson premieres new single Bat for a Heart

Ashlee Simpson premieres new single Bat for a HeartPop-rock singer Ashlee Simpson premiered her single "Bat for a Heart." The track is the first dance dark single since her last release from 2008's "Bittersweet World" album.

"Bat for a Heart" was written by Ashlee and Linda Perry and produced by Perry for her fourth studio album that's scheduled for release next year.

The single kicks off with piano lightly playing over a steady drum machine while the singer says: "I'm gonna bang, bang, f—ck you up / Twist you out inside of my head." Then the track becomes an electro-pop shift with synthesizer sounds and drum beats. Ashlee's sound is more mature and darker of the "Pieces of Me" singer. The pop-star independently released the track to iTunes on November 21.

"I am so excited to share my new music #BatForAHeart with you," wrote Jessica Simpson's younger sister.
