Hey now, hey now — Hilary Duff has officially stepped back into the spotlight! The former Disney Channel icon and Lizzie McGuire star, who defined the early 2000s with hits like “Come Clean,” “So Yesterday,” and “Metamorphosis,” has returned to music after nearly a decade away. Hilary dropped her brand-new single “Mature” — her first original release in 10 years — co-written with her husband Matthew Koma and songwriter Madison Love.
The track marks the beginning of a new era for the actress and singer, who recently signed a deal with Atlantic Records and announced a docuseries that will follow her creative comeback and life as a mom of four. With fans already excited about her possible new album and a long-awaited tour, Hollywood Life is breaking down everything to know about Hilary’s return to music and what this next chapter means for her career.
When Will Hilary Duff Release Her New Album?
Hilary signed with Atlantic Records in September 2025, and she’s in the studio working on her new album. While no release date has been announced yet, the Younger star told Variety in October 2025, “[My fans] are going to hear something so soon, like in the blink of an eye.”
Less than two weeks prior, the Disney Channel alum teased a comeback in an Instagram post. In an August 2025 carousel, Hilary celebrated the 22nd anniversary of her album Metamorphosis.

“Clearly, I had to go digging around the internet for pictures from this time as I’m not sure camera phones even existed,” Hilary wrote in the caption alongside photos of herself from the 2000s. “Sadly all my hairstyles ARE very documented. I do know this marker of time was a huge change in my being. I was embarking on something I had no idea would make such an impact on people’s lives, and mine. As much as I look back and think this album doesn’t hold the emotional depth I look for today, I know my 14/15 year-old self meant every word. It sure as hell also landed on people at the right moment in time and set me off on a pretty epic adventure.”
Hilary also recalled “some of [her] first shows being in a skate park in San Jose, [California], and very shortly after, stepping out on stage in arenas.”
Does This Mean Hilary Duff Is Going on Tour?
In November 2025, Hilary announced that she will be performing in select cities in January 2026: London, England, Toronto, Canada, Brooklyn, New York, and Los Angeles, California, for four shows.
“One single? Please. This girl is hitting the road for some very special shows,” the revived pop singer captioned an Instagram post. “London, Toronto, Brooklyn, LA – dust off your dancing shoes. I’m coming for you. I’m so ready (and okay, a tiny bit nervous).”
In mid-January, Hilary kicked off her tour by performing her greatest hits, including “This Is What Dreams Are Made of.”
When Was the Last Time Hilary Duff Went on a Tour?
Hilary’s last tour was her Dignity Tour from 2007 to 2008. Her first was the Metamorphosis Tour from 2003 to 2004, which skyrocketed the then-teenager to stardom.
How Many Kids Does Hilary Duff Have Now?
Hilary is a proud mom of four children in total now. She shares her son Luca with ex-husband Mike Comrie and her three other children, Banks, Mae and Townes with husband Matthew Koma.
