The scene came on where this is what dreams are made of.
Obviously you perform it.
I was like, this song is actually poetic.
♪ Never seen such a beautiful night ♪
♪ I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright ♪
I did want to ask you,
when you were making that in the studio,
were you like, holy, this song is amazing?
No.
Stop it.
Very much no.
Yeah, Hilary Duff didn't exactly dream
of singing her iconic Lizzie McGuire banger,
What Dreams Are Made Of.
In fact, she can't even remember recording it
in the first place.
♪ Hey now, what dreams are made of ♪
♪ What dreams are made of ♪
Yeah, absolutely not.
I don't even remember recording that song.
Hilary revealing that fun fact
on Jake Shane's Therapist podcast
after sister Haley confirmed this one
to E.T. earlier this year.
There's a TikTok debate going on.
There's a clip from the Lizzie McGuire movie going around.
So it's your sister sings,
and then a different voice comes in,
and people are like, is it Haley?
Is that Haley's voice mixed with Hilary's?
Was that you on the soundtrack?
Like, way back in the day?
Yes, it was.
You're like the Isabella voice, right?
Okay.
Yeah.
♪ I've got somewhere up, this is my dream ♪
I will say, now I love it.
And when I was filming the movie, I loved it.
It was just, it was like a weird time,
and it wasn't technically my song.
It was a Lizzie McGuire song.
So I think having my music that I was recording,
I forget the timeline, to be honest.
I mean, I was literally 14 years old.
♪ Have you ever wondered what life is about? ♪
♪ Search the world, figure it out ♪
Actually, when I sing it now, I feel a lot of joy.
If I would ever tour again,
Don't play with me.
I think maybe I would be allowed to manage
to sing that song somehow, some way.
On the floor.
You'd have to scrape-
Maybe, you know, just maybe, like hypothetically.
Now, we don't know if the Lizzie McGuire soundtrack
makes it onto the Duff family playlists,
but Hilary's music certainly does,
thanks to her seven-year-old Banks.
Banks is listening to your music now.
She's listening to my music,
which means I have to listen to a lot of my own music.
I don't love having to listen to my own music daily.
Hopefully, Hil doesn't mind listening to her new music.
Her song, Mature, is her first single in 10 years.
♪ Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba ♪
It was always gonna happen.
There's no way that that was not gonna be a part
of my story,
but I think being 38
and just like arriving kind of like where I am in my life and I just felt
like I had a lot of like I can finally like fill in the blanks. Finally I felt
safe enough and comfortable in my own family to step outside and open that
part of myself up again.
