Pop culture phenomenon Hilary Duff delves deeper into her new era with the release of Roommates. The song is the latest offering from the singers forthcoming sixth studio album, luck... or something. The release is accompanied by an official visual, which references Duff's iconic 2002 single, Come Clean.

Co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips, the track trades the glitter of pop for emotional clarity, anchored by and intimate and vulnerable vocal performance. Set atop sleek synth-pop sonics, Duff's vocals give the song its quiet power. Subtle inflections and breathy phrasing give further depth to the songs confessional lyricism. There is a soothing familiarity to her performance, one that mirrors the songs central tension between comfort and restlessness. The production remains unobtrusive throughout, creating space for Duff's vocals to draw you in and linger.

Lyrically, Roommates is a meditation on how the passion and spark of love can be overtaken by routine and day-to-day life. Duff describes the song as being about " when life is life-ing, babe,” and mourns the loss of spontaneity. “It’s that ache for a wilder, freer time - before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back - to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.”

Arriving next month, Duff began teasing luck... or something with its lead single, Mature, and the news that Duff’s re-entry into music will be chronicled in an upcoming docuseries. The series is set to give fans a raw, intimate look at her creative process, and her personal life. Directed by Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter), the series promises a stylised, vérité-style portrait of Duff in the studio, at home, and on stage for the first time in over a decade.

Next week, Duff will make her grand return to the live arena, bringing that intimacy back to the stage with the launch of her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour. The run includes performances in London, Toronto, Brooklyn and Los Angeles, followed by a residency at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. All shows across the tour were met with high demand and instantly sold out.

luck... or something is out February 20.
