Metamorphosis is the second album by American pop singer Hilary Duff, released in the United States on August 26 2003 (see 2003 in music). The Matrix, who had worked with Avril Lavigne and Liz Phair, wrote and produced three songs on the album: "So Yesterday", "Where Did I Go Right" and "The Math". Duff's sister Haylie wrote the songs "Sweet Sixteen" and "Inner Strength". The album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with 204,000 copies in its first week, being kept from the top spot by Mary J. Blige's album Love & Life. The albums traded spots the next week, putting Metamorphosis at number one for one week with a 32% drop in sales to 138,000 copies. As of May 2005 the album had sold over 3.7 million copies in the U.S.http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1502662/20050520/duff_hilary.jhtml?headlines=true It reached number one in Canada.

"So Yesterday" was released as the album's first single and a moderate worldwide success. It was certified platinum in the U.S., and its video received heavy rotation on MTV, Total Request Live and Much Music. Subsequent singles from the album included "Come Clean", which picked up substantial U.S. radio airplay and became another hit. The video was directed by Dave Meyers and was popular on MTV and Much Music. Third single "Little Voice" reached the Australian top forty in May 2004, its video consisting of footage from Duff's Girl Can Rock tour. The album's final single was "The Math". Metamorphosis was nominated at the Juno Awards of 2004 for "International Album of the Year", losing to 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
