"Duff confirmed that she really struggled about whether to include We Don't Talk, as it spotlights the most lonely part of my existence, which is not having my sister in my life at the moment. It's funny, as a person that exists in the world without my other half, so many people are having that experience, said Duff, having ultimately decided to share my truth."
"She also confirmed that The Optimist addresses her relationship with her father, who she's sure loves her, even if it's hard for it to feel like that amid some of the circumstances. I think it's really challenging for one person to have major success in a family, said Duff. It's hard to get back to a place of health. It takes everybody involved to be able to do that."
Hilary Duff is estranged from her sister Haylie and drew on that estrangement and complex family dynamics when creating her new album luck or something. The song 'We Don't Talk' spotlights the loneliness of not having her sister in her life, and Duff debated including it before deciding to share her truth. Duff framed the record as an effort toward connection and wrote all songs herself rather than using outside material. The album also confronts her relationship with her father, acknowledging his love while noting challenges that arise when one family member attains major success. Duff called the process healing and is uncertain how Haylie will react.
