THE GETAWAY

HTalkin’ ere I am again to myself

Sitting at a red light Both hands on the wheel How am I supposed to feel?

So much runnin’ through my mind First you wanna be free Now you say you need me Givin’ mixed signals and signs It’s hard to let you in Thinkin’ you might slam the brakes again CHORUS: Put the pedal down Headin’ out of tow Gotta make a getaway The traffic in my brains Drivin’ me insane This is more than I can take You tell me that you love me first Then throw your heart into reverse I gotta getaway I can’t keep comin’ back to you Ev’ry time you’re in the mood To whisper something sweet in my ear It’s so hard to move on ‘cuz every time I think you’re gone You show up in my rear-view mirror Is this just a detour? ‘cuz I gotta be sure That you really mean what you say?

It’s so hard to let you in Thinkin’ you might slam the brakes again CHORUS

Hilary was one of the charter members of Kids With A Cause in 1999 and continues to offer her

dedication and support to this worthwhile organization whenever she can. Her sister, Haylie, is also one of the charter members and is the Spokesperson for 2003.

Kids With A Cause (www.kidswithacause.org) is a non-profit organization that lends a helping hand to the children of the world who, through no fault of their own, suffer from poverty, hunger, sickness, lack of education, abandonment, neglect and/or abuse.

Hilary donates her time through a variety of events with the charity. She visits children in hospitals to help make their day a little brighter. She escorts disadvantaged youth to theme parks and shares in the fun and the thrill of the rides. Spending time with less fortunate children is very important to Hilary and she also supports the efforts of Kids With A Cause through special fund raising projects.

Her most recent projects in support of Kids With A Cause include “Send a Greeting by Phone” (www. dtelegrams.com) where you can send greetings from Hilary for those special occasions and special friends and t-shirts with original art by Hilary (www.angelwear.com). There will also be collectible items of Hilary’s soon on eBay to offer additional support towards her charitable interests.

We hope that you, too, will offer your support to children in need.

I’ve always dreamed of this since I was little.

My little girl.....

Dear Hil,

We wanted you and Haylie to know just how much you two have brought to our lives. You came early. September 27, 1987 about 10:30 p.m. you started to make it known that you had no intention of waiting 7 1⁄2 more weeks to get started with your life. Mom woke Dad up, called a sitter to come stay with Haylie and headed to the hospital. We barely got there before it was clear this was no false alarm.

The doctor on duty delivered at 1:10 a.m. September 28, ‘baby girl, Duff.” We had no name picked out, as you were quite the surprise! For four days we simply called you ‘Boo.’ Everyone who came to visit, all of the nurses and doctors literally voted on what to name you. Hilary won out! As for your middle name, Erhard (not Ann????), it was your grandmother’s maiden name and has a proud heritage in Bastrap, Texas. We knew you would be proud and strong, and could carry it well.

Susan Duff

As the months passed, Boo gave way to ‘The Creature.’ You always knew exactly what you wanted and were relentless at getting it.

Haylie was in pre-school when you were born and she had the hardest time leaving you every day, and still does today. She believed we had you just for her. She loved to feed you and dress you, she even taught you how to ride your bike. Through the years you have always looked up to Haylie. I’m not so sure you have known just how much she loves and admires you, too!

The most proud moments for us are the one’s far from the public eye. The beautiful citizen of the world you have become, the loving daughter you have always been, the kind and supportive sister you are, the devoted and loyal friend you are, the astute businesswoman you are becoming and the thoughtful and generous human being you are make you all the more special to us. The most proud we are is of the way you have come through the grueling schedules, the unfair assumptions and the constant intrusions in your life. You handle all with amazing grace and humility.

We are so much the better for having you and Haylie, we are not always perfect but we are always here for you no matter what.

Love you always, Mom and Dad

Dear Hil, We always say ‘I love you’ in our family and I want you to know I always mean it. You have been so much more than a baby sister to me, you are my baby sister and no matter how old we get I will always look after you.

I am so proud of the values Mom and Dad always instilled in us. You have grown up to be such an amazing young woman, a young woman with a conscience and a devotion to making the world a better place.

You’re a great southern girl and remember faith and manners will get you through life’s challenges. The most important advice left to give you is what you have heard all of your life. Honor your word, your reputation, your faith and your family. Money can’t buy these things nor can anyone take them away.

I know you are always watching me, but did you know I am always watching you, too? You have such grace and style and a great upbeat outlook on life. No matter how much work is ahead of you, you just plow through and get it done! You have a great work ethic but also a great play ethic. I have so much fun with you whether we are traveling or staying home having a girls’ night. I have a great time just being with you!!

God has blessed us both richly and I will always be thankful for the family we have.

Love you so much, Hayls, always the big sis

I had so much say on my album - I relate to all my songs!

Hide Away Hiding away Losing the day As if it doesn’t really matter Saying good-bye Scared to say why Afraid it will shatter our world Show me some faith now Trust me somehow CHORUS: Why are we keeping our secrets?

Why are we hiding ourselves away?

Any way we can hide away I don’t want to fake it I want to make you believe what I say I won’t let you hide away Where do we go?

How do we know What we’re ever really after?

Sometimes it’s clear When you are here Nothing can shatter our world I need some faith now To trust you somehow REPEAT CHORUS Maybe I, Maybe I, Maybe I’m losing?

Maybe I, Maybe I, Maybe I’m okay?

We turn around Look around Go around in circles Don’t run away Drift away Don’t hide away REPEAT CHORUS Oh, what I say Believe what I say I won’t let you hide away hide away Hiding away Losing the day As if it doesn’t really matter

“Forget about the reasons why you can’t in life/And start to try/Cause it’s your time/Time to fly” “Fly” If you thought you knew film, TV and pop music star Hilary Duff before, think again. Her new, self-titled Hollywood Records album, the follow-up to the 3.2 million-selling (4.8 million worldwide) Metamorphosis, with its chart-topping single, “So Yesterday” and MTV VMA-nominated “Come Clean,” will show you the remarkable creative growth spurt she has undergone. The release date for the album—Sept. 28, 2004—just happens to be Hilary Duff’s 17th birthday.

“Compared to the first album, when I wasn’t confident enough to make suggestions, this time around, I was very involved,” says Duff about the recording process for Hilary Duff. “I worked with the songwriters, telling them what was happening in my life, and what I wanted to sing about. If I thought it needed to be more heavy, more rock, I said so. I feel that this record is so much more me. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Using some of the same producer/writers from Metamorphosis, including John Shanks (“Come Clean”) and Charlie Midnight (“So Yesterday”), as well as contributing some of her own songs, a pair in collaboration with sister Haylie, Hilary Duff shows this teen pop idol graduating into a full-throttle rock star. That “metamorphosis” can be seen and heard on the Chris Applebaum-directed video for the first single, “Fly,” which features Hilary rocking out on-stage with her band. The single was #1 Most Added out of the box at Top 40.radio. “‘Fly’ is an uplifting song in the face of all the negativity going around these days,” says Hilary. “It’s about how people are scared to open up and show who they are inside because they’re afraid of what others are going to say.”

That attitude of empowerment, for Duff and, vicariously, her fans, is also major theme on the album. Songs like “Shine” (written by Kara DioGuardi and Guy Chambers) and “Underneath This Smile” (a Dioguard/Shanks number) urge not to judge others (or yourself) by surface appearances, but to look to your inner self for inspiration.

“When I first heard ‘Underneath This Smile,’ I told [co-writer] Kara [DioGuardi], ‘This is my life.’ I can’t really act the way I want to act, or say what I want to say all the time. And a lot of times, I cover that up with a smile. But everybody feels that way sometimes, when they can’t really say what they’re thinking.”

On the tongue-in-cheeky “Haters,” which Hilary co-wrote with sister Haylie, Charlie Midnight and Marc Swersky, she takes on a bitter tabloid rival who shall remain nameless.

“Everybody knows which feud I’m singing about,” she laughs. “It’s not directed at anybody in particular; it’s about anybody that comes down on your for no reason. I know girls go through his in high school. It’s supposed to be sarcastic. People will recognize they’re not the only ones who have to deal with stuff like that.”

On the grunge rocker “Mr. James Dean,” another song Hilary penned with her sister and Kevin Declue, she tackles a boyfriend who thinks he’s too cool. “James Dean was great, but this person was a poser,” she says.

Throughout the record, Hilary makes it very clear. She wants to rock.

“I’m really into louder, heavier music right now,” she says, counting Bob Dylan, Sublime, Janis Joplin, 50 Cent and Good Charlotte among her current favorites. “My shows are more like rock concerts. I don’t really dance. They’re not choreographed. We jump around on-stage and have a lot of energy. I loved pushing the album in that direction. It’s what I wanted to do. The guitars are awesome on it.”

Duff goes into other areas of music, too, like the aptly named “Weird,” which has almost a rhythmic island feel.

“That’s obviously about a relationship. It’s a little chippy, a little offbeat, a little creepy,” she explains. “It’s not normal.

I don’t think anybody ever heard me do a song like that. The verses are very mellow and chill, and then the chorus is just loud and crazy. I love that.”

“Who’s That Girl” and “Do You Want Me” show that even though she may be rich, famous and talented, Hilary Duff still has the same problems as many of her fans.

“Desmond Child wrote ‘Who’s That Girl,’” she says. “I talked to him a lot before we worked together and he knew how I felt inside. I cried when I first heard the song. There’s this part of me that everybody knows about and there’s this other me, at home or with my friends and family, that’s completely different. And sometimes I step out and watch while the ‘other’ Hilary is working and wonder how I’m able to do all this stuff... It’s like two sides of the same person.”

The Diane Warren-penned “I Am” sounds like it could be Hilary Duff’s life story. “She said it would be perfect for me... I think it can fit everyone. It’s a real anthem. People can feel so amazing about themselves that they can go out and conquer anything. And sometimes they can’t stand themselves. It’s about those contradictions. It’s about coming out, opening up and being at peace with those different parts of you.”

The show-stopping “Someone’s Watching Over Me” is from Hilary’s upcoming role in Raise Your Voice as a young girl who overcomes self-doubt to achieve her artistic goals, with the strength gained from knowing her brother, who died in a tragic auto accident, is looking down on and guiding her.

With all that has been going on in Hilary Duff’s life over the past 18 months, it’s amazing she found the time to write and record a new album.

She starred in last summer’s hit movie A Cinderella Story, whose Top 10 Hollywood Records soundtrack featured “Our Lips Are Sealed,” Hilary and Haylie’s cover of the Go-Go’s song, which was featured along with four brand-new Duff tracks on the album. She set an audience record on ABC’s Good Morning America show last July when she performed before an estimated 7,000 people in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. Her 36-date Most Wanted Tour, which featured Haylie as an opening act, defied a weak summer market and sold out in most major markets around the U.S. Among the new songs she performed live were “Weird,” “Haters,” “Do You Want Me,” “Rock This World” and “Fly.” Her DVD, Girls Can Rock, was released in August on Buena Vista Entertainment. This fall, her New Line Cinema movie, Raise Your Voice, featuring both “Fly” and “Someone’s Watching Over Me” from the new album, hits theaters Oct. 8, while Universal Pictures’ A Perfect Man, co-starring Heather Locklear, comes out Valentine’s Day 2005.

Even with that kind of nonstop schedule, Hilary still makes sure to give back to those less fortunate. As a charter member of the Kids With a Cause organization, Hilary sponsored a “Food for a Friend” drive that collected canned foods brought to her show in each city to feed more than 22,000 youngsters at shelters around the country.

And while she enjoys acting out different roles on screen, the real Hilary Duff can be found in her music, which is why it makes great sense the multi-hyphenate star’s new album is called Hilary Duff.

“Music is so personal to me. I can be myself, and say what I want to say,” she says. “I feel I’m honest most of the time and don’t try to hide things. But music enables people to learn about my personality, how I’m evolving. Even if I don’t feel comfortable talking about something, I can feel comfortable expressing that same thing through my music.”

A new chapter in the Hilary Duff story starts here.

I wouldn’t be here without my fans, the band, the crew, my producers, songwriters or my family.

Thank you everyone for making my dreams come true.

You Rock!
