SO YESTERDAY

"So Yesterday" is a pop song recorded by Hilary Duff for her debut album, Metamorphosis, and it was released as the album's first single on July 29, 2003 in the United States. It peaked at 42 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became a top five hit in Australia, France and the United Kingdom, where it was Duff's debut single. The song was written by Lauren Christy, Scott Spock, Graham Edwards and Charlie Midnight and was produced by The Matrix. Duff said that when she first heard the song, she didn't really like it, but her opinion changes after she listened to it more. She decided she would "give [the song] 100 percent" and not comment negatively of it, and, as she put it, she "ended up loving it". "It was such a fun song, and it means a lot", she said. "It's very empowering toward breaking up with your boyfriend and getting over it and stuff." The video was filmed primarily in and around Venice Beach and Marina del Rey, California. It debuted on the Total Request Live countdown at number nine, reaching the top spot after twenty-seven days on the countdown. It received airplay on MuchMusic in Canada. At one point in late August 2003 it was the most streamed music video on AOL.
