HistoryDuff co-wrote every song on the album with Kara DioGuardi,and she also worked with producer-songwriter Rhett Lawrence in Toronto, Canada.Other producers and mixers on the album include Richard "Humpty" Vission, Tim and Bob,and Manny Marroquin. She said that compared to her previous music it would be "more dancey"and make use of more real instruments. "I don't know exactly how to explain what we're doing,but it's fun and funky and different, something new for me. It's really cool", she said.She has also described the sound of the album as "a little less pop-rock and more electronic".Duff titled the album Dignity because she felt dignity is something "you have to work on having...The album is so personal and talks about so many experiences I've had — good ones and bad ones — and[dignity] is something I always hope to have and strive to have."This belief inspired the song "Where's Your Dignity?", while "Gypsy Woman" is about the "other girl"in a relationship. Duff has said "Happy", which was featured on the soundtrack to the 2006 film Material Girls(in which she starred), is the only "mellow, acoustic" track on the album.

The album was originally going to be released November 21, but because production tooklonger than expected, it was pushed back to December 5.It was subsequently pushed backto February 2007 because of Duff's commitment to the film Brand Hauser: Stuff Happens.Hollywood Records later reported that the album would be released in April 2007.Promotion for the first single, "Play with Fire", began in August 2006; a RichardVission-produced remix of the song followed in October. "Play with Fire" became a minorclub hit in the U.S., but it failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.The music video for the second single, "With Love", was released on February 2007,and has been used as the television commercial for Duff's first fragrance, "With Love... Hilary Duff",promotion for which began in November 2006 and Hollywood Records is planning to release aroundthree more singles from the album. Reviewer Martha McPhee of EBiZ Entertainment called Dignity"one of the most anticipated albums of 2007 ... Hollywood Records is really helping themselvesand growing by promoting and labelling Hilary. She's had 2 number one albums in the pastfew years and I'm sure this one won't let anyone down". McPhee guessed that HollywoodRecords would release six or seven singles and "give justice to Hilary", in contrastto the promotion of her previous albums. "They now know that Hilary is their biggestmoney maker and they're doing whatever they can to make her next album big", she said.Dignity is at number eight on About.com's "Top 10 Albums to Watch for in 2007".Michael Paoletta of Billboard magazine described tracks like "With Love,""Play With Fire," "Stranger," "Danger" and "Burn" as having "beats and rhythms ofclubland, with shades of Depeche Mode, Gwen Stefani and Madonna".

This is a Play with fire review by Billboard.com!

Hilary Duff has got a brand-new bag. "Play With Fire" is less of the clichedlittle-girl-playing-tough-pop/rocker than it is a truly intriguing explorationinto darker, more experimental melodic structures that could attract a whole new crowdof late-night dancefloor minions to the Duff camp. The original version is just fine,but the tweaked-out radio edit from remixer Richard Vission is a true work of art,refashioning Duff as a potential innovator—and heaven knows there are precious few ofthose these days. Hil's new album is due in first-quarter 2007. It will be fascinatingto see if this is an enchanting fluke, or if America is destined to at last see the arrival of its own Kylie.
