Hilary Duff Officially Returns to Music With New Single "Mature"
Hilary Duff has made her official comeback to music with the release of her highly-anticipated single, "Mature." The pop-rock track reflects a conversation between her present and younger self, blending synths and guitar melodies.
“She looks like all of your girls but blonder/A little like me, but younger,” Duff sings. “‘Mature’ is a little conversation that my present self is having with my younger self. The two of us are reflecting on a past 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.”
Music Video Concept
The single's music video, directed by Lauren Dunn, features two versions of Duff. One performs onstage in a gold, sequined dress while the other watches from an empty auditorium. The video includes a symbolic scene where a butterfly lands on Duff’s cheek. It concludes with Duff holding the butterfly and letting it fly away, referencing her 2003 debut album Metamorphosis.
Background
- "Mature" is Duff’s first release since 2015’s Breathe In, Breathe Out, an album she created with her now-husband Matthew Koma.
- The song marks a reflective and grateful stage in her life and career.
