Amid chatter about her rumored mom-group drama, Hilary Duff is releasing a song about the hectic side of being a working mother.
“Roommates” dropped Thursday (Jan. 15) alongside a music video as the second single from the Lizzie McGuire alum’s upcoming album Luck … or Something. In a statement, Duff said that it’s “a song about when life is life-ing, babe.”
“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,” continued the singer-actress, who shares three kids with husband and “Roommates” cowriter Matthew Koma. “It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back — to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.”

Arriving ahead of the Feb. 20 release of Luck … or Something, “Roommates” follows up single “Mature,” which Duff dropped in November. Her new era — which will also be complete with a short run of shows this month and mini Las Vegas residencies in February and May — marks a grand return to music after not releasing an album for more than a decade. In 2015, LP Breathe In. Breathe Out. debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
In addition to her three kids with Koma, Duff also has a 13-year-old son from her first marriage to Mike Comrie. This month, the How I Met Your Father alum and other famous moms have been the subject of widespread gossip thanks to Ashley Tisdale’s essay for The Cut about “breaking up” with a “toxic” group of mom friends, in which fans decided Duff must have been involved after looking back through old photos of the women hanging out together.
Adding fuel to the fire, Koma posted a spoof on Tisdale’s essay with the replacement headline, “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”
