Hilary Duff Announces ‘Mature,’ Her First Single in a Decade

Hilary Duff recently promised fans new music will arrive “in the blink of an eye” — and she wasn’t joking. The actress-singer has announced her new single “Mature,” out Nov. 6.

“Mature” will be Duff’s first single in a decade, following “Sparks” from 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out. The single artwork features an image of Duff overlapped three times, with the title written in pink.

After teasing on social media, Duff officially announced her return to music back in September, when she signed with Atlantic Records. The news sparked immense joy from her fanbase, so much so that Rolling Stone reported a 400 percent increase in searches for her music on Spotify.

Duff is also slated to star in an upcoming docuseries chronicling her new musical era, as she records and prepares for her first performances in 10 years. The project will be directed by Sam Wrench, who worked on Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, and more.

Duff has been in the studio with her husband, Matthew Koma, a musician and producer who worked on Breathe In. Breathe Out (he currently fronts Winnetka Bowling League). “I always knew I was going to return to music,” she said in a recent interview with Variety. “I needed to feel safe and I needed to have the right people in my corner and be absolutely 100 percent ready. Honestly, I needed to have 10 years of life under my belt. I needed a lot to say. This album feels like the inner workings of my brain and I really am so excited to connect with people again on that level, that very forward-facing level.”
