Hilary Duff Confirms “We Don’t Talk” Is About Estrangement From Sister Haylie

She says putting the song on her new album was a difficult choice that felt healing.

Overview

  • In a CBS Mornings interview on release day, Duff said the track is about her rift with Haylie and called the separation the loneliest part of her life.
  • She explained that she really struggled with whether to include the song but chose to share it as her truth and found the process healing.
  • Duff grew emotional on air and said she does not think her sister hearing the track would help, adding she is unsure whether Haylie will hear it or how she would react.
  • Addressing online sleuthing, Duff pushed back on fan “Easter egg” theories and warned against overinterpreting incidental details.
  • The song appears on Luck … or Something, her first album in a decade released today, which also explores complex family dynamics including her relationship with her father and anchors a broader tour rollout.
