Hilary Duff is showing a provocative side in her new single Roommates and accompanying music video that has NSFW – Not Safe For Work – written all over it.
The mom-of-four, 38 – who shared a clip to Instagram on January 15 – turns up the heat as she waxes lyrical over a romantic relationship gone dull in the latest release from her forthcoming album luck… or something.
The music video features Duff in a clingy yellow dress and in various forms of frustration as rain drips from the ceiling and her partner sits immobile and nonreactive.
‘I can barely mention it without causing some ego trauma / But I know you’re sensing how I’m tryna give you hints,’ she croons. ‘Physical affection goes a long way with me, I don’t wanna / Quietly resent you / I just want the easy fix.’
In the chorus, she sings about a sexual encounter in the ‘back of the dive bar.’
‘I only want the beginning, I don’t want the end / Want the part where you say, ‘Goddamn’ / Back of the dive bar, giving you head /Then sneak home late, wake up your roommates,’ laments the former Disney star, who earlier this week spent time with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie, at their son’s soccer game.

‘I want the highlights, 10 out of 10 / The butterflies from holding your hand,’ she serenades. ‘Before we swept us under the bed / And we became practically roommates / I’m touching myself by the front door / But you don’t even look my way no more.’
Later in the track, Duff recalls a time when she and her man weren’t ‘practically roommates,’ singing, ‘I’m touching myself looking at porn / ‘Cause you don’t even look my way no more.’
The singer described where her heart and mind were at while writing the song with her husband Matthew Koma, 38, with whom she shares daughters Banks, 7, Mae, 4, and one-year-old Townes – Duff also has son, Luca, 12, with former NHL player Comrie.
‘Roommates is a song about when life is life-ing, babe,’ she wrote in the caption of her post.
‘It’s that ache for a wilder, freer time – before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back – to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.’
Duff’s new album luck… or something drops February 20 and comes a decade after her last studio album Breathe in. Breathe out.
She’ll also be hitting the road in support of the upcoming album with shows scheduled in London, Toronto, New York City and Los Angeles as part of her Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour.
In February and May, Duff is also set to perform at Voltaire at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas for residency shows.

The latest musical effort comes in the wake of the ‘toxic mom group’ scandal fueled by Ashley Tisdale’s article for The Cut.
The group consists of a number of stars including Duff and Mandy Moore. Meghan Trainor was also reported to be part of the group, but she recently insisted that she is not in it.
The group of friends created by Duff will often message each other, go on holiday, have play dates and attend baby classes together.
Tisdale claimed in the article that she had felt ‘frozen out’ by the group during her postpartum period.
While the High School Musical actress did not list any names in the story, fans were quick to point out that she unfollowed both Duff and Moore on Instagram around the time of the article’s release.
Tisdale wrote that she had been left out from some gatherings and added, ‘All of a sudden I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing “wrong” to be left out.’
She continued, ‘I texted to the group after being left out from yet another group hang: “This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”
‘To be clear I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one) but I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive – for me anyway.’
The ‘toxic mom group’ drama surrounding Duff was fueled by a viral essay written by Ashley Tisdale in The Cut in which The High School Musical alum claimed that she had felt ‘frozen out’ by the group during her postpartum period; Tisdale is pictured in May 2025 in Los Angeles

Duff’s husband recently stepped in to defend his wife as he called out ‘self obsessed and tone deaf’ Tisdale.
On Instagram, he shared a fake headline which read ‘When You’re the Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus to Their Actual Toddlers.’
He then photoshopped his own head onto Tisdale’s body in a move to recreate an image shared by The Cut.
A smaller headline could also be seen and read: ‘A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father’s Eye.’
