Background and release

After the release of the single "Mature" on November 7, 2025, Duff announced her sixth album Luck...or Something, set to be released through Atlantic Records on 20 February 2026. [1] In January 2026, Duff announced through her social media that the second single from the record would be "Roommates". [2]

Composition

"Roommates" is a pop [3] and synth-pop [4] song written by Duff herself with her husband Matthew Koma and Brian Phillips, [5] the latter also producers of the track. [6] [7] Duff explained that the song is about "the 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." [8] [9]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Roommates", directed by Matty Peacock, was released through video sharing platform YouTube. [10]
