Hilary Duff Returns to Music with New Single "Mature"
Hilary Duff has made her official comeback to music after 10 years with the release of her single "Mature", launched on Thursday night. This marks her first new song in a decade.
Teasing the Release
Shortly before the release, Duff shared a teaser on Instagram featuring a clip from the music video. She captioned it:
“Be there,”
accompanied by cocktail, sparkle, and cherry emojis.
Bold New Lyrics
"Mature" showcases raunchier lyrics compared to Duff’s earlier, more innocent Disney Channel-era songs. In the opening verse, she sings:
“She’s me, I’m her in a different font / Just a few years younger, a new haircut / Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch / Now, now.”
“Going down on her on your vintage rug / Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat / And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not / Now, now.”
The chorus continues with provocative lines:
“She looks / Like all of your girls but blonder / A little like me, just younger / Bet she loves when she hears you say / ‘You’re so mature for your age, babe,’”
“She looks / Like she could be your daughter / Like me before I got smarter / When I was flattered to hear you say / ‘You’re so mature for your age, babe,’ oh.”
Hilary Duff on Her Musical Return
In an interview with Jake Shane on his “Therapuss” podcast, Duff reflected on her comeback:
“It was always going to happen,”
she said. “There’s no way that that was not going to be a part of my story.”
Hilary Duff reintroduces herself with a provocative sound, marking a clear evolution from her earlier career while embracing her maturity and growth.
