Hours after the artist teased the song on Instagram with a little preview, the single was released on Thursday night. Mature, Hilary Duff’s first new song in ten years, marks her musical rebirth. Hours after the 38-year-old singer teased the song on Instagram with a brief teaser, the single was published on Thursday night. “8 p.m. EST.” “Be there,” she captioned the photo with sparkling and drink emojis.
In contrast to Duff’s previous songs, Mature takes a lighthearted look at growing up. In keeping with the idea of transformation she started with her 2003 album Metamorphosis, the music video depicts two incarnations of Duff meeting. Duff stated that the return was unavoidable while speaking on Jake Shane’s Therapuss show. She declared, “There’s no way that wasn’t going to be a part of my story.” “I wanted to reflect on my life since my last release, share my experiences, and reconnect with my fans.”
Santa Claus Lane (2002), Most Wanted (2005), Dignity (2007), and Breathe In. Breathe Out (2015) are among the albums that Duff recorded after beginning her musical career with her breakthrough role on Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire. Every project represented a different phase of her life, but she claims that being a mother—she has four children with her current husband Matthew Koma and ex-husband Mike Comrie—had an impact on when she returned. She remarked, “I’m so engrossed in motherhood right now.” “I always knew I’d return to music when the time felt right, but it’s easier to plan acting jobs because of the schedule.”
