\n\tIs this what dreams are made of? At long last, Hilary Duff<\/a> is back with new music, dropping new song \u201cMature\u201d after taking several years off to focus on acting.<\/p>\n

\n\tArriving Friday (Nov. 7), the bright pop track finds the performer reckoning her past and present self. \u201c\u2018Mature\u2019 is a little conversation that my present self is having with my younger self,\u201d she said of the project in a statement. \u201cThe two of us are reflecting on a past experience and sending love to each other. It\u2019s a chuckle, a wink, and a sense of being grateful that we are sure footed in where we landed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMarking her first proper release in nearly a decade, \u201cMature\u201d was cowritten by Duff\u2019s husband, producer Matthew Koma, and Halsey collaborator Madison Love. The Lizzie McGuire alum last dropped a solo song in 2016, when she released single \u201cLittle Lies.\u201d In 2020, she assisted Koma and artist RAC on a track titled \u201cNever Let You Go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou know it\u2019s all for them,\u201d Duff said<\/a> in October of her LGBTQ+ fans being the reason why she\u2019s making music again. \u201cIt\u2019s just to impress them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe performer first announced \u201cMature\u201d just a few days prior to its release, though fans had known before then that she was planning to return to music. In September, Duff \u2014 who hasn\u2019t released an album since 2015\u2019s Breathe In., Breathe Out. \u2014 signed a new label deal<\/a> with Atlantic Records. At the same time, it was announced that she would be the subject of a docuseries chronicling Duff\u2019s personal journey back to making music.<\/p>\n
