Hilary Duff has returned to the music scene with her new album Luck…Or Something, marking her comeback after more than a decade and drawing strong reactions from fans who grew up with her early 2000s hits.
The 38-year-old singer and actress explored themes of personal growth and nostalgia in the project, while also revisiting the musical influences of her earlier career. On the track Growing Up, she sampled the 1997 hit “Dammit” by Blink-182, a detail that fans quickly recognised following the album’s release.
Social media users widely praised the creative choice, describing the song as a nostalgic tribute for millennials. Many listeners said the sampling revived memories of their youth, particularly among those who followed Duff’s rise to fame through the television series Lizzie McGuire.
The album has performed strongly on streaming platforms shortly after release, signalling a successful return to music for the pop star. Duff has also announced a tour scheduled to begin in June, with high demand reported for tickets.
