She followed it with a second single, “Roommates,” in January 2026, ahead of her upcoming sixth studio album, Luck… or Something.
The new music marks a fresh era for Duff, who co-wrote “Mature” with her husband Matthew Koma and songwriter Madison Love. Alongside her releases, Duff has returned to the stage for intimate live shows and announced a forthcoming docuseries chronicling her creative comeback and life as a mother of four.
HollywoodLife breaks down everything to know about Hilary Duff’s return to music and what’s next in her evolving career.
When Will Hilary Duff Release Her New Album?
Hilary is set to release her sixth studio album, Luck… or Something, on February 20, 2026. The project marks her first full-length album in more than a decade and follows her signing with Atlantic Records in September 2025.
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?
Hilary is indeed back on the road in 2026 with her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour — her first string of live shows in nearly 18 years. The mini-tour kicked off on Jan. 19, 2026 in London and includes stops in Toronto, Brooklyn and Los Angeles before concluding in Las Vegas with a special residency over Valentine’s Day weekend.
In November 2025, Hilary announced that she will be performing in select cities in January 2026. “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.”

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.
