Duff admits song is about parents' split

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff has revealed that her latest song is about her parents' break-up.

Rumours have been spreading since the emergence of 'Stranger' that the subject matter was in fact about Duff's own split from Joel Madden.

Duff and the Good Charlotte singer split in November 2006, after nearly two years together, but she has reluctantly admitted that the song reflects on her parents' split in the same year.

"I made it seem like this was a relationship that I was in, but it's actually about my parents and about their relationship. I didn't want people to know that."
