November 21, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Hilary Duff‘s standard reply when she’s asked about how she managed to emerge from child stardom relatively unscathed has become the title of her first new album in more than 10 years.

“It’s luck, but there’s also a lot of weight in the ‘…or something.’ Many of the things I’ve been through along the way are held there, and I feel like ultimately that’s what’s shaped me.” The album includes her new single, “Mature.”

She writes on Instagram, “So much love, late night anxiety and a little chaos went into making this album – hoping you see yourself in here the way I have. I love you and excited is the largest understatement.”

As previously announced, Hilary will launch her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour in London in January, marking her first headlining concerts in over a decade. She’ll also perform in Toronto, New York and Los Angeles.
