This is what Y2K dreams are made of. Earlier this week, Hilary Duff announced that she would be releasing her new song, “Mature,” on Nov 6 — her first new music since her last album, 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out.
When speaking to host Jake Shane for the Season Two finale episode on the Therapuss podcast, Duff discussed her return to the studio and shared some insight on her upcoming single. “It was always going to happen,” Duff said. “There’s no way that that was not going to be a part of my story.”

The pop star and Disney alum said that after 10 years removed from music and where she is now in her life at 38 years old, she feels “ready to fill in the blanks and share with people and connect with them on the level of now.”
“Obviously, it’s taken a lot of twists and turns and ups and downs and all of those things, but I have this crazy connection with fans that I’ve known since I was nine, 10 years old, and I just want to connect with them again,” she continued. “We have gone through a lot of the same things — whether that’s complicated relationships, anxiety, raising kids, divorces, trying to find yourself in adulthood, family drama… Finally I felt safe enough and comfortable in my own family to step outside and open that part of myself up again.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Duff described “Mature” as “self-talking to my younger self about an experience that we had and just reflecting on it, and being okay with it and having a little tongue-in-cheek moment with yourself and accepting your past and being good with where you landed.” The singer also said that the music video shows “the journey of the two me’s meeting” and includes a “sweet butterfly moment,” which has been a big theme in her life since Metamorphosis.
The news of her upcoming single arrived about two months after it was announced that Duff had signed with Atlantic Records and would be featured in a docuseries following her journey back to music. According to a press release, the project, directed and executive-produced by Sam Wrench (A Nonsense Christmas With Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour), will chronicle “the ups, downs and everything in between,” and touts that “fans will ride shotgun as she balances raising a family, recording new music, live show rehearsals, and preparing to perform on stage for the first time in over a decade.”
