Trivia

Hilary Duff is the self-titled third album by American pop singer Hilary Duff, released by Hollywood Records in the United States on September 28, 2004 (see 2004 in music).

Duff said that she had more creative control over the album than she did over Metamorphosis (2003), her second album, and that the songs were more "personal" and contained heavier influences of rock music.

When discussion regarding her second album began, Duff said she wanted to work with the same team of producers and songwriters with whom she worked on Metamorphosis. "[They] made me feel so comfortable and so secure with myself. I loved working with them. I have a great relationship with them. I talk to them [all the time] ...

According to Duff, the album chronicles her experiences over the year before its release: "some of it's good, and some of it's bad, and a lot of it's, like, a big learning experience", she explained.

Hilary Duff received mostly negative reviews from critics, many of whom compared it to the music of Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson. Sales of the album in the U.S. did not match those of Metamorphosis, and the singles "Fly" and "Someone's Watching over Me" were not major hits.

Duff herself co-wrote three tracks on the album: "Mr. James Dean", "Haters" and "Rock This World", the first two of which, along with "The Last Song", Haylie co-wrote.
