Hilary Duff Teases Explicit New Song While Sidestepping Mom-Group Drama

Hilary Duff is signaling a much bolder direction for her next album.

On Wednesday, the former Disney star shared a short video of herself lip-syncing to an unreleased track that includes blunt, NSFW lyrics about a past relationship. In the clip, Duff mouths lines that reference a dive bar hookup and sexual frustration, painting a picture of a once-intense romance that has cooled into disappointment. The song’s tone is reflective and raw, focusing on desire, neglect, and the emotional distance that can grow over time.

The tease quickly drew attention online, not only for its explicit language but also for its timing. Duff’s post appeared as she largely ignored chatter surrounding an essay written by Ashley Tisdale for The Cut. In the piece, Tisdale described leaving a “toxic” mom group that made her feel hurt and excluded. Fans speculated the group included Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor, though Tisdale’s representative said the essay was not about the rumored names.

While Duff stayed silent, her husband, Matthew Koma, appeared to wade into the conversation. He shared a mock magazine cover mimicking Tisdale’s The Cut photoshoot, with a sarcastic headline that poked fun at what he framed as self-absorption.

Neither Tisdale nor her team responded to Koma’s post.

For now, Duff seems focused on the music. If the teased lyrics are any indication, her upcoming album will explore adult themes with a level of honesty and edge fans haven’t heard from her before.
