She spelled out the track\u2019s meaning on Instagram, saying the song is an ode to her old life\u2014and the journey of finding yourself again after experiencing major life changes, such as marriage, motherhood, and the general passage of time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201c\u2019Roommates\u2019 is a song about when life is life-ing, babe,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s that ache for a wilder, freer time\u2014before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It\u2019s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back\u2014to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Duff touched on this theme during her November interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/hilary-duff-interview-mature-single\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Vogue;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Vogue<\/a>. The outlet asked how motherhood has changed Duff\u2019s perspective on being a pop artist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cObviously I\u2019m gonna always put my kids first,\u201d she began. (Duff has four children: 13-year-old son Luca, as well as three daughters she shares with husband <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/celebrities\/a37406350\/who-is-matthew-koma-hilary-duff-husband\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Matthew Koma;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Matthew Koma<\/a>, 7-year-old Banks, 4-year-old Mae, and 1-year-old Townes.) \u201cBut over the years, it\u2019s easy for your personal interests to slip lower and lower on a list of priorities until you end up putting yourself last. I\u2019m ready to not do that and just go balls-to-the-wall again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She also addressed her upcoming docuseries, which will depict the album\u2019s creation. (Duff has yet to announce an official name or release date for the series.) \u201cI wanted to document what it looks like to try and do this all again with my family,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I look at all the big pop stars, not too many of them are also mothers. I chose a different path, so achieving my dreams is going to look a whole lot different now that I have four kids at home. There\u2019s an honesty and an \u2018I don\u2019t give a fuck\u2019 mentality that comes with it. I think the docuseries will be fun to watch because the stakes feel higher. You don\u2019t know how this ends for me, but hopefully it ends the way I want it to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read her full \u201cRoommates\u201d lyrics below
