Hilary Duff is playing coy about whether or not her new single Mature is about Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 38-year-old singer released the comeback song earlier this month, prompting fans to guess who might have inspired the track.
Due to the nature of the lyrics — ‘She’s me, I’m her in a different font / Just a few years younger, a new haircut / Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch’ — listeners have traced the tune to the 51-year-old actor.
DiCaprio is a Scorpio as he was born on November 11.Â
Adding fuel to the fire, Hilary’s husband and collaborator Matthew Koma posted a meme of Leonardo’s Titanic character Jack holding the single’s cover art.
But when Hilary called into On Air With Ryan Seacrest last week and was blatantly asked about it, she gave a playful answer.
‘Not confirming, not denying anything here,’ she said to co-host Tanya Rad Yadegar.

The mother-of-four added about her and her husband’s reaction to fan theories: ‘First of all, we’re getting the biggest kick out of the speculations.
‘It’s honestly, it’s thrilling. It’s 100% thrilling and the internet is such a funny place. I’m obsessed with everyone and I’m seeing all the videos.’
She added about the meme Matthew shared, ‘You can’t take anything that Matthew posts seriously. He’s the biggest troll on the planet Earth. He will lead everybody down all the roads and have the most fun doing it.’
The Lizzy McGuire alum previous told Vogue about Mature, ‘The song is about reflecting on your past and coming to terms with the choices you’ve made, but without being too hard on yourself.’
And the pop star explained further, ‘It is definitely about a brief experience that I had in my — a long, long time ago [laughs].Â
‘But it is not totally autobiographical. I took a few artistic liberties just to make the song work structurally, but the gist is the gist.’
Hilary noted, ‘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.”Â
‘The whole experience was super therapeutic to write about, but being so vulnerable through your music can be really scary.’
The lyrics include the lines, ‘She’s me, I’m her in a different font / Just a few years younger, a new haircut / Very Leo of you with your Scorpio touch’

Other references potentially pointing to DiCaprio include a line in the song about a Basquiat artwork.
‘Going down on her on your vintage rug / Bet she’s so impressed by your Basquiat / And she thinks you’re deep in the ways you’re not,’ she sings.
The Hollywood leading man famously owned a $9 million Basquiat painting that he received as a gift from disgraced Malaysian businessman and fugitive Jho Low.
Another part of the song sees Hilary sing, ‘Hid my car at Carbon Beach so I wasn’t seen at yours / You knew better of course.’
Leo purchased a Malibu home in 1998, which had direct access to Carbon Beach, according to Architectural Digest.
