Hilary Duff\u2019s upcoming album \u201cLuck Or Something\u201d tackles almost everything from the challenges of being a mom, an \u201cinappropriate\u201d age-gap with a former boyfriend, and dealing with family tensions when she was younger.<\/p>\n

Duff spoke to Glamour<\/a> about why she was ready to open up on her new project. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cLizzie McGuire\u201d star continued, \u201cThat\u2019s my family,\u201d she said, referring to the track \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk,\u201d which is reportedly about her rumored rift with her sister Haylie.<\/p>\n

On another track, “The Optimist,\u201d Duff sings about the wish that her \u201cfather would really love\u201d her. \u201cThose are the people that affect you the most, take up the most space naturally as a human who\u2019s born into something.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because you\u2019re born into a family doesn\u2019t mean that it always stays together,\u201d Duff continued. \u201cYou can only control your side and your street I\u2019ve had a very complicated life, and my parents had a very complicated thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cYounger\u201d 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\u2019s mother, Susan. In 2008, while going through divorce court, Robert reportedly spent a day in jail after allegedly selling his family\u2019s assets without court approval.<\/p>\n
