Hilary Duff confirms song 'We Don't Talk' is about estrangement from sister Haylie

Hilary Duff, a pop culture icon of the turn of the millennium, is experiencing a significant moment in her career, combining deeply personal confessions with a professional renaissance. On February 20th, her sixth studio album 'Luck... or Something' premiered, her first in ten years and also her first recorded for the label Atlantic Records. The album contains 11 tracks, including the singles 'Mature' and 'Roommates'. The album's themes revolve around 'the chaos and clarity of motherhood, marriage, and finding oneself after thirty', as per the album description. Duff admitted that the creative process involved questioning whether women can 'have it all', and required sacrifices from her. The track 'We Don't Talk' generated the most emotion among fans and media. Speculation that the song is about the broken bond with her older sister, Haylie Duff, was confirmed by the artist herself in an interview on 'CBS Mornings' on the release day. When asked by correspondent Anthony Mason, Duff replied that her sister 'is not currently part of my life'. In a conversation with 'Variety', she added that this estrangement is 'the loneliest part of my existence'. „At some point I had to make peace with the fact that some relationships require sacrifice for your own peace of mind.” — Hilary Duff This candid confession became one of the key threads of the album's promotion, showcasing the artist's evolution from a Disney teen star to a mature woman addressing difficult family matters. Hilary Duff gained global fame in the early 2000s thanks to the lead role in the Disney Channel series 'Lizzie McGuire' (2001-2004). Her parallel music career began with the album 'Santa Claus Lane' (2002), and the breakthrough was the 2003 album 'Metamorphosis', which sold over 5 million copies worldwide, making her one of the biggest teen idols of her time. The album announcement was accompanied by the announcement of a major world concert tour 'The Lucky Me Tour'. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, this will be the artist's first major tour in nearly 20 years. The tour will begin in June in West Palm Beach, Florida, and will cover many cities worldwide, concluding in 2027 in Mexico. Duff commented on the tour name on Instagram with the words: 'Il nome la dice tutta' ('The name says it all'). Commercial success is foreshadowed by the fact that her earlier mini-tour 'Small Rooms, Big Nerves' at the beginning of the year sold out almost immediately after announcement. 'Rolling Stone' reports that tickets for the main tour can be purchased online, and the earlier, intimate edition 'almost broke the internet'. Duff's return is perceived by the media as an event primarily aimed at the millennial generation who grew up with her music and roles.
