Why it matters

Duff's new album 'Luck...Or Something' marks her first new original music in over a decade, and the release of the 'Roommates' video builds anticipation for the full album drop.

What they’re saying

“'Roommates' is a song about when life is life-ing, babe. It's that 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.”

“I am often asked how I still have my head on straight after growing up in this industry. The album title is my way of answering that question. It's luck, but there's also a lot of weight in the '...or something'. Many of the things I've been through along the way are held there, and I feel like ultimately that's what's shaped me.”
