As Hilary Duff<\/a> is preparing to release Luck \u2026 or Something<\/a><\/em>, her first album in more than a decade, she revealed her career might not have panned out the way it has if it weren\u2019t for getting fired from a show when she was 11 years old.<\/p>\n Discussing her return to music for Variety<\/em>\u2019s \u201cKnow Their Lyrics\u201d<\/a> video series, Duff said she had been cast in an unnamed TV show but was abruptly replaced with twins so the production could work longer hours without violating child labor laws. \u201cI got fired,\u201d Duff said [laughs<\/em>]. \u201c[I was] 11 years old, and I got fired from a job. It was absolutely devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Duff said she had decided to return to her home state of Texas to be a \u201cnormal kid\u201d when \u201cmy manager called my mom and was like, Disney wants to see Hilary for this thing.\u201d The \u201cthing\u201d in question was the hit television series Lizzie McGuire<\/em>, which helped launch Duff\u2019s acting career.<\/p>\n The former Disney child star\u2019s forthcoming album Luck \u2026 or Something<\/em> is set for release on Feb. 20, 2026 \u2014\u00a0it\u2019s her first album since 2015\u2019s Breathe In. Breathe Out. <\/em>Duff said she always had plans to return to music after a hiatus to focus on acting, starring in Younger <\/em>and How I Met Your Father<\/em>, but \u201cnever wanted to jump the gun and do something that didn\u2019t totally feel right.\u201d<\/p>\n Her first single from the album, \u201cMature<\/a>,\u201d was released earlier this month and is co-produced by her husband, Matthew Koma. Speaking to Variety<\/em>, Duff confirmed the lead single is about a \u201cvery brief romance that I had with an older guy,\u201d and the song is an inner conversation where Duff talks \u201cto the past version of myself and looking back at that time with the maturity of a formed grown adult.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
