Hilary Duff: Learning to Fly (2004)

glitteryunapologetically 2004MTV nostalgia

Overview

Music

No, it's not a History Channel documentary about the Wright Brothers hosted by a famous songstress; this fascinating video features Hilary Duff's music video "Fly" and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video, with special never-before-seen footage. You'll be flying high when you see exactly what makes this singer-actress so talented … in both disciplines. (Hint: It's star quality!)

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This dropped during Duff's strategic pivot from Disney Channel star to 'serious' pop artist—right between Metamorphosis and her self-titled album. The 'Fly' single peaked at #20 on Billboard Hot 100, proving the machine worked.

Trivia

Director Chris Applebaum also helmed iconic videos for Rihanna's 'SOS' and Jessica Simpson's 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin''—basically the Mount Rushmore of 2000s visual aesthetics.
