""People ask me how you're doing / I wanna say amazing / But the truth is that I don't know," she sings on the track. "What I always end up saying is how / We don't talk." "It's definitely about my sister," Duff told Good Morning America during a February 20 segment. "And just absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment.""
"Because of the public nature of the record, Duff says she "struggled" with including the song on her album. "I don't know if she'll hear it," she said. "I don't know how she'll react to it. You know, it is a really personal part of my life that doesn't get to stay personal. So I might as well say how it is for me, and that's all I'm trying to do.""
Hilary Duff confirmed that the song "We Don't Talk" is about her estranged sister Haylie. The song's lyrics convey uncertainty and the recurring response that "we don't talk." Duff described the estrangement as the most lonely part of her existence and said the origin of the rift remains unknown. She struggled with making the private matter public on her album and expressed uncertainty about whether Haylie will hear the song or how she will react. Duff framed the track as her personal experience, emphasized that she is not trying to say anything negative, and reinforced boundary-setting.
