Hilary Duff is the self-titled third
studio album by American recording artist
Hilary Duff. It was released on September 15, 2004, by
Hollywood Records. Duff cited the album as being more mature than her previous albums, stating "Basically, I'm not
Lizzie McGuire anymore". The seventeen-track album saw Duff collaborating with the same producers she did on
Metamorphosis, saying that it was more comfortable for her that way. Recording sessions for the album took place during May to August 2004, partially between filming of
Raise Your Voice (2004) and
The Perfect Man (2005), both in which Duff had starring roles.
