Luck... or Something (stylized in all lowercase) is the upcoming sixth studio album by the American singer Hilary Duff. It is set to be released through Sugarmouse Inc. and Atlantic Records on February 20, 2026. Mainly produced by her husband Matthew Koma, the album has spawned two singles, "Mature" and "Roommates". Duff signed with Atlantic Records in September 2025, a decade after the release of her 2015 record, Breathe In. Breathe Out. Atlantic Records also announced that Duff would feature in a Sam Wrench-directed documentary series, chronicling her return to music.
Musically, Luck... or Something is an introspective and personal album shaped by Duff's life experiences over the past decade. The title reflects how she has navigated both her life and career: while "luck" played a role, "or something" points to the personal experiences, challenges, and emotional weight she encountered along the way. On November 25, Duff unveiled Luck... or Something, alongside its title, artwork, and pre-order details. To support the album, she embarked on the Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour on January 19, 2026.

In September 2025, Duff signed to Atlantic Records, 10 years after releasing her fifth studio album Breathe In. Breathe Out.[1] The announcement of her return to music prompted a surge of renewed interest on streaming platforms; searches for Duff on Spotify reportedly increased by 400 percent, while U.S. streams of her catalogue rose by almost 80 percent and first-time listeners grew by approximately 75 percent.[2] Atlantic Records also announced that Duff would feature in a documentary series directed by Sam Wrench,[3][4] chronicling her return to music, the development of new material, and her preparations to perform again.[2]
Duff began teasing the project on social media that month, hinting at forthcoming releases with the caption "New music ... or something".[2] She further teased her forthcoming material while attending Vogue World: Hollywood 2025 in Los Angeles, stating that new music would be released in the near future.[3] She revealed that she had been working in the studio with her husband, Matthew Koma.[5] Duff later went on to note that Koma had worked with her on the entirety of the album, and that it would not contain any further collaborations. She explained that a lot of the content on the record was "quite serious", but that it was "pop all the way", reflecting her personal tastes.[6] Reflecting on her hiatus following the release of Breathe In. Breathe Out., Duff explained that her return to music had always been planned, but required personal readiness and the right creative environment.[3]
Duff described Luck... or Something as deeply introspective, which is shaped by a decade of life experience, and expressed enthusiasm about reconnecting with audiences on a more personal level.[3] Written by Duff alongside Koma and Madison Love,[7][8] "Mature" is a "'80s-tinged pop",[9]pop-rock[10][11][12] and guitar-pop[13] track that blends polished 2020s production with reflective lyricism.[10] It subverts expectations by addressing Duff's younger self rather than a former lover, as it reframes the phrase "so mature for your age" as a point of reflection rather than flattery.[13] A midtemposynth-pop track,[14][15] "Roommates" features sexual lyrics[16] and its production was compared to Taylor Swift's song "Anti-Hero", from Midnights (2022).[15][17] Co-written with Duff with Koma and Brian Phillips, it explores a relationship that has grown emotionally stagnant, as Duff discusses how moments of past intimacy have faded, which leaves the couple feeling more like "roommates" than romantic partners.[18]

On November 2, 2025, Duff shared an Instagram Stories directing fans to her official website, which featured a second-by-second countdown scheduled to end at 1:00p.m. Eastern Time Zone (UTC−05:00) the following day.[19] The title of the album was announced on November 21, and the album became available for pre-order on the same day.[20] Duff explained in a press release that the title of Luck... or Something reflects how she has navigated life and her career, noting that while "luck" played a role, the "or something" alludes to the personal experiences, challenges, and emotional weight she has carried along the way, which ultimately shaped who she has become.[21] The album title is taken from a lyric in one of the album's track namely "Adult Sized Medium".[22]
Over a period of few weeks beginning from the announcement of the album's release, Duff unveiled several variants of the album. Each of these variants were special vinyl-only releases, subtitled differently and are accompanied by different cover artworks.
