When Hilary Duff claimed she is "always" thinking of making new music

In an interview with Access in 2023, Hilary Duff was asked about her hiatus from music. The singer's last release was a decade ago in 2015, despite her being a successful pop star at that time. Duff then shifted to acting for a while and focused on other priorities. In her interview, she said,

"I always am thinking about [music]. I never want to blame my kids for this, but I’m so immersed in motherhood right now, and it’s so much easier to book an acting job and be like, 'Okay, I have to be at work at 6:00 a.m., and I’ll be done by 9:00, and then I’ll be home.'"

Duff also said it is "hard" for her to talk about music, as every time she does, her fans get excited about it and claim "it is happening." The actress was last seen in How I Met Your Father, a spin-off of the iconic 2000s sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. Duff played the lead role of Sophie in the show and also served as producer. However, the sitcom was cancelled after two seasons.

Hilary Duff shares three children with husband Matthew Koma - Banks, six, Mae, four, and Townes, one. She is also the mother to a daughter, Luca, 11, from her ex-husband, Mike Comrie. Duff claimed that motherhood took up a lot of her time in her aforementioned interview. She said,

"I am in the middle of my real life. [Music] is very much a part of my not-real life. From my past. And going to the studio feels so, ‘Oh, my God, maybe we get something today, maybe we don’t.’ It doesn’t feel like real work. I know that it is."

Duff was still hopeful that she would return to music soon and said,

"I really believe that one day I’ll be like, ‘I have to do it.’ There will be something that comes over me. It’s gonna happen. I just don’t know when."

Hilary Duff herself has yet to confirm her return to music. Fans will eagerly wait for a confirmation from the Lizzie McGuire star, who still remains one of the most beloved early 2000s pop stars in popular culture today.
