Hilary Duff is coming clean about what inspired her return to music with her new song, “Mature.”

“It is definitely about a brief experience that I had in my [life] — a long, long time ago,” Duff, 38, told Vogue in a Thursday, November 6, interview. “It is not totally autobiographical. I took a few artistic liberties just to make the song work structurally, but the gist is the gist.”

She continued, “I was looking back on this relationship and thinking about whether this guy had a habit of dating younger women or whether I was ‘special.’ The whole experience was super therapeutic to write about, but being so vulnerable through your music can be really scary.”

Duff released “Mature,” her first song in 10 years, without identifying the former partner who inspired the lyrics.
