Hilary Duff says her new music could drop "in the blink of an eye"

While details regarding Hilary Duff's comeback remain under wraps, the "What Dreams Are Made Of" hitmaker has been teasing her new era for months before the countdown.

The drop clock comes just days after she left a hint about her speculated return to music, telling Variety:

“We’re getting something really soon. [My fans] are going to hear something so soon, like in the blink of an eye.”

Hilary Duff added:

“I always knew I was going to return to music. I needed to feel safe and I needed to have the right people in my corner and be absolutely 100 percent ready. Honestly, I needed to have 10 years of life under my belt. I needed a lot to say. This album feels like the inner workings of my brain and I really am so excited to connect with people again on that level, that very forward-facing level.”

In August, Hilary Duff also hinted at the sequel to her 2003 album Metamorphosis, as she celebrated its 22nd anniversary.

On Instagram, she reminisced about the olden days with a carousel of throwback snaps of herself, which appeared to be from when she was promoting the studio album.

"I was embarking on something I had no idea would make such an impact on peoples lives, and mine."

Hilary Duff concluded her post:

"Yesterday marked the 22nd anniversary of Metamorphosis… Although these are distant memories for me, thank you for showing up the way that you did. To be continued…"
