Ranking Her Return: From Bops to Flops

Okay, so she’s back. After what feels like a lifetime of mom-life and throwback playlists, Hilary Duff finally dropped new music. The album is here, and we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to. We listened to all eleven tracks…for science.

Some of these songs are pure, nostalgic pop magic. You’ll hear a few that make you want to instantly re-download your old AIM username. But let’s be real, not every track is a winner. A couple sound like they were written during a particularly boring carpool line.

So where does the lead single land? Is the closing track a hidden gem or a total snooze? We’ve got the definitive ranking, and let’s just say…not everyone made the honor roll. The real question is, does the album deserve a spot on your main playlist, or is it strictly for background laundry-folding?
