Hilary Duff has announced details of her first album in more than a decade, luck…or something.
Set for release on February 20, 2026, the follow-up to 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out. has already been previewed by the lead singer, Mature.
Explaining the meaning behind the LP’s title, Hilary shared: “I am often asked how I still have my head on straight after growing up in this industry.
“The album title is my way of answering that question. 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 So Yesterday singer teamed up with her Grammy-winning songwriter/producer spouse, Matthew Koma – who has penned hits for Britney Spears and Pink – on her first new material in more than a decade.
Mature, which was co-written with Madison Love, is “autofiction inspired by romantic misadventures in her formative years.”
Hilary said: “Mature is a little conversation that my present self is having with my younger self.
“The two of us are reflecting on an experience and sending love to each other. It’s a chuckle, a wink, and a sense of being grateful that we are sure-footed in where we landed.”
The album details come after Hilary announced she will be returning to the stage for the first time in more than a decade.
The 38-year-old star is set to play a series of intimate shows in North America and London.
The Small Rooms, Big Nerves dates commence January 19 at London’s iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, followed by shows at HISTORY in Toronto, on January 24, New York City’s newly opened Brooklyn Paramount on January 27, and Los Angeles’ historic Wiltern on January 29.
Fans can expect to hear more new songs at the concerts.
Hilary said: “It’s happening.
“I’m over the moon to be stepping on stage again. I’ve got some new songs that I can’t wait to share with you and of course some old favorites we can scream together. It’s been a minute and I’ve missed you. Let’s make some mems.”
