[edit] Song information
"With You" was written by Simpson, Billy Mann, and Andy Marvel, and produced by Andy Marvel and billyman. Simpson having co-writing credit on "With You" marked the first time that she had received writing credit on any of her singles.[citation needed]
[edit] Music video
As the single was released while Simpson's reality show, Newlyweds, was still on air and at the peak of its popularity, the video of the song was created to parallel the show. Jessica pokes fun at herself for her on-camera antics throughout. She is featured chowing down on Chicken of the Sea tuna -- an allusion to the first episode, where she asks if the famous tuna brand is really chicken -- and buffalo wings, a reference to another gaffe of hers, when she asks if buffalo wings come from buffalo. At one point she is sporting a T-shirt reading "plata-ma-pus," the way Jessica thought "platypus" was pronounced. She is shown around the house making haphazard attempts at housekeeping, another reference to the first episode, when then-husband Nick Lachey reproves her for not trying to do more around the house herself. In the video, she floods a sink with soapsuds and awkwardly tries to Swiffer the kitchen floor; a later scene shows her trying to sort dirty laundry. She is also seen golfing, another thing she has difficulty with on the show, because her boobs keep getting in the way.
The video of the song was released as a DVD single. It received two MTV Video Music Award nominations for Best Female Video and Best Pop Video.[citation needed]

[edit] Chart success
"With You" was released largely in hopes that the song would revive In This Skin on the charts. The single became her biggest hit since 1999's "I Wanna Love You Forever", as it peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song became her first #1 hit on the Top 40 Mainstream chart and also made the top five of the Top 40 Tracks. It reached #1 on the digital downloads chart, and would later assure the single a Platinum certification, which it achieved in November 2005 (having previously gone gold in October 2004). However, the song's strong downloads were not able to help it on the charts, as downloads were not counted towards The Billboard Hot 100 until February 2005.
The song was a big hit in the UK, where it reached number seven, becoming her highest peaking single in that country until These boots are made for walkin' reached number four.
In Australia, "With You" reached number four, giving Simpson her first single to reach the top five in that territory.
