“a cohesive, no-skips record that offers an update on Duff’s life, including honest looks at motherhood, marriage, and the passing of time… a pop record that holds very little back, offering a realistic, at times unglamorous portrait that is highly relatable”
– ROLLING STONE

 

“The sense you get listening to ‘luck… or something’ is that Duff is firmly in the driver’s seat”
– GLAMOUR

February 23, 2026 — Philippines – Multiplatinum global superstar Hilary Duff has officially released her highly anticipated sixth studio album, ‘luck… or something’, accompanied by its opening track, “Weather For Tennis”. Fans can stream the album here and watch the music video here. 

Co-written by Hilary and produced by her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182), the 11-track collection features previously released singles, “
Mature” and “Roommates”. 

"There’s that question of whether women can have it all, and through this process I learned I had to sacrifice some things in order to put the record first,” shares Hilary. “As hard as that is, I still believe it’s okay to choose yourself sometimes and do what scares the hell out of you. Carving out the time to make an album after all these years was incredibly powerful for me, and now I can’t wait to share it with the world".

Pulled between the chaos and clarity of motherhood, marriage, and finding herself in her 30s, Duff dreamed up a batch of songs that uncover the secret corners of her inner world: her hidden longings and quiet insecurities, intrusive thoughts and deepest obsessions. In a bold evolution of her artistry, she crafted every track with equal parts sensitivity, self-awareness, and wildly charming wit.

‘luck… or something’ was heralded by its first single, 
“Mature”. 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. 

Currently supported by major radio stations, the album’s second single, 
“Roommates”, was 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 accompanied by an official music video directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) and currently boasting over 2M views on YouTube.

Duff will celebrate ‘luck… or something’ with “the lucky me tour”, her first full-scale global headline run in almost two decades. Spanning seven countries, with dates across the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. For complete details and ticket information, please visit the official website 
here.

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.

“I constantly get asked how I still have my head on straight after growing up in this industry,” says Hilary. “The album title is my way of answering that question, which felt right for a record that’s about where I’ve landed and all the things I’ve been through along the way”.

About Hilary Duff

One of the defining stars of her generation, multiplatinum global icon Hilary Duff is returning to the pop world with her boldest and most self-assured project yet. After rising to fame as the titular star of the Disney Channel blockbuster, 'Lizzie McGuire', Duff first kicked off her music career with 2003’s 4X platinum 'Metamorphosis' (featuring the Top 40-charting “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean”), then released her platinum-selling 2004 self-titled LP and 2007 autobiographical dance-pop collection 'Dignity'. With those three albums alone selling a collective 15 million copies worldwide, she also established herself as a producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and New York Times-bestselling author, all while continuing to deliver standout performances in TV and film, including her award-nominated turn on Darren Star’s 'Younger'.

Recently signed to Atlantic Records, Duff is now launching a thrilling new chapter and sharing her first new music since 2015’s "Breathe In. Breathe Out." (a No. 5 debut on the Billboard 200, made with an extensive lineup of producers/co-writers including Tove Lo and Ed Sheeran). 


With over 32.3M+ social media following, 🇵🇭 the Philippines is at #3 on her top 10 audience across platforms!
