Listen HERE. Co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips, the track was instantly met with high-profile praise from outlets including Billboard, V Magazine, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which declared it “10 OUT OF 10…one of her best songs.” “Roommates” is joined by an official music video, directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) and currently boasting over 2M views on YouTube HERE.

luck… or something was heralded last fall by its first single, “Mature,” available everywhere now HERE. Hailed by VOGUE for “pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary,”  the sardonic, shimmering track – which quickly earned over 5M global streams in its first week of release – arrived as a piece of autofiction inspired by romantic misadventures in her formative years.  Set against bright pop production and layered with Duff’s signature wit and vulnerability, “Mature” is accompanied by an evocative music video directed by Lauren Dunn (Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron, Saweetie), which has garnered nearly 4M views via YouTube HERE.

This weekend will see Duff marking the new album’s impending arrival with SOLD-OUT limited engagements at the Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas set for February 13-15 and May 22-24. Hilary’s landmark 2026 kicked off last month with her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” dates, an instantly SOLD-OUT global run of very special live shows marking her first headline concert appearances in over a decade. Designed as a rare, up-close experience, the performances offered fans a look at an artist reconnecting with live performance on her own terms and setting the stage for what’s next.
