"Simple Life" is a song by Canadian country music singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson, recorded for her second studio album Dress Rehearsal (2004). Despite being a successful songwriter, this is the only song on the album where Johnson does not have a writer's credit and is the first song recorded by Johnson to not be written by her, with the track instead being written by songwriters Troy Verges, Aimee Mayo, Chris Lindsey, and Hillary Lindsey, with production being handled by Johnson and Dann Huff. The song was released on November 24, 2003, to country radio via Arista Nashville as the lead single from Dress Rehearsal. It received the Single of the Year and CMT Video of the Year awards at the 2004 Canadian CMA Awards.
