Hilary Duff’s upcoming album “Luck Or Something” tackles almost everything from the challenges of being a mom, an “inappropriate” age-gap with a former boyfriend, and dealing with family tensions when she was younger.

Duff spoke to Glamour about why she was ready to open up on her new project. “I just felt really ready to share. I wanted to make something that I could connect with people again on the level of who I am now. I felt like people have definitely gone through some of the similar large strokes that I have in the past 10 to 15 years.”
The “Lizzie McGuire” star continued, “That’s my family,” she said, referring to the track “We Don’t Talk,” which is reportedly about her rumored rift with her sister Haylie.

On another track, “The Optimist,” Duff sings about the wish that her “father would really love” her. “Those are the people that affect you the most, take up the most space naturally as a human who’s born into something.”

“Just because you’re born into a family doesn’t mean that it always stays together,” Duff continued. “You can only control your side and your street I’ve had a very complicated life, and my parents had a very complicated thing.”
The “Younger” star has never been very vocal about her parents, but their dirty laundry was made public when her father, Robert, admitted to having an affair during his marriage to Hilary’s mother, Susan. In 2008, while going through divorce court, Robert reportedly spent a day in jail after allegedly selling his family’s assets without court approval.
