"Mature" is a song by the American actress and singer Hilary Duff, released on November 6, 2025 by Sugarmouse Inc. and Atlantic Records as the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album. Her first music release in nearly a decade, she co-wrote the pop rock song with Madison Love, Brian Phillips, and alongside her husband Matthew Koma. The song's lyrics reference Duff's regret for dating an older man in the past.
On September 9, 2025, Atlantic Records announced that they had signed Duff to their label, which led to a 400% increase in searches for her discography through Swedish streaming service Spotify. [1] [2] While attending an event for fashion magazine Vogue on October 26, Duff revealed that, "[My fans] are going to hear something so soon, like in the blink of an eye." [3] [4]
Duff relaunched her official website under Atlantic Records on November 2, which featured a clockdown clock set to end the next day at 1:00 p.m. (EST). [5] The countdown revealed that she would be releasing "Mature". [6] [7] Duff also debuted the cover art through social media, with the caption stating, "So happy this is finally yours to hear. Been keeping this one quiet too long." [8]
Duff released "Mature" on November 6, 2025, [9] worldwide digitally for music download and streaming, [a] with a music video premiering the same day. Its release marked nearly a decade since she had released solo music following the 2016 song "Little Lies". [11]
"Mature" is approximately a four-minute pop rock song where music critics described as a "guitar forward production" and "glimmering synths and guitar licks". [11] [12] It was co-written by Duff, alongside her husband Matthew Koma, with Madison Love and Brian Phillips. [13] The song's lyrics reference Duff's past dating an older man, singing the lyrics "She looks like all of your girls but blonder/A little like me, but younger". [12] Entertainment Weekly commented on the lyrical content of the single's first verse, referring to it as "NSFW". [14]
Keaton Bell of Vogue called the track "a perfect point of re-entry, pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary." [11]
An accompanying music video for "Mature" was released through video sharing platform YouTube, which premiered at 8:00 p.m. (EST) on November 6, 2025. It was directed by Lauren Dunn and features Duff in an empty theater watching herself perform onstage. [11] A brief reference to her studio album Metamorphosis is made in the video. [12] Duff described the concept of the video as "meeting yourself where you where you landed". [15]
