'''''Luck... or Something''''' (stylized in all lowercase) is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Hilary Duff. It was released through Sugarmouse Inc. and Atlantic Records on February 20, 2026. Following a period of musical inactivity, Duff signed with Atlantic in September 2025, over a decade after the release of her last record, ''Breathe In. Breathe Out.'' (2015).
Duff assumed a greater role in the album's development, co-writing all of its tracks with her husband and previous collaborator Matthew Koma, who produced the entirety of the record with Brian Phillips. Musically, ''Luck... or Something'' is an introspective and personal album shaped by Duff's experiences over the prior decade. Its title reflects how she has navigated both her life and career: while "luck" played a role, "or something" points to the personal experiences, challenges, and emotions she encountered along the way.
''Luck... or Something'' received generally positive reviews from music critics, who described the album as nostalgic and emotionally mature. It has charted at number one in Australia and Canada, as well as the top five in New Zealand, Scotland, United Kingdom, and the United States. The album has spawned three singles: "Mature", "Roommates", and "Weather for Tennis". To support ''Luck... or Something'', Duff embarked on the Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour, and will follow it with the Lucky Me Tour. Atlantic Records also announced that Duff would feature in a Sam Wrench-directed documentary series, chronicling her return to music.
