"Come Clean" is a song recorded by American singer Hilary Duff for her second studio album, ''Metamorphosis'' (2003). It was written by Kara DioGuardi and John Shanks, while production was handled by Shanks. The song contains influences of electronica, with the lyrics chronicling the protagonist wanting to "come clean" with her love interest, from a strained relationship. The critics received "Come Clean" with mixed reviews. The song was released on January 13, 2004 as the album's second single. The song peaked at number thirty five, becoming Duff's first top forty single in the US. But, the song failed to match the success of its predecessor "So Yesterday" (2003) in many other countries. It reached a peak of number seventeen in Australia and eighteen in the UK, while charting inside top twenty in Canada, Netherlands, Ireland and New Zealand. A remix of the song by Chris Cox was included on Duff's 2005 compilation album, ''Most Wanted'', and in 2008, another remix of the song by Chico Bennett & Richard "Humpty" Vission was included on Duff's first greatest hits album ''Best of Hilary Duff''. The song was accompanied by a music video, directed Dave Meyers, which showed Duff inside a house on a rainy day, waiting for her love interest. The video was nominated in the category of Best Pop Video at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost. The song was used in the theatrical trailer for the 2004 film ''A Cinderella Story'', which stars Duff. It was used as the theme song for the MTV reality television shows ''Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County'' and ''Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County'', and it is included on the soundtrack album for ''Laguna Beach''. == Composition == In a 2005 interview with ''News Times'', Duff said that the song is "obviously about a boy and a girl's relationship and it's just talking about how somebody thinks they're in the dark."〔 "She's tired of it and he's tired of it and they're coming clean, whether it means they're gonna be together or not. They're laying all the cards out on the table and coming out with everything that hasn't been said basically.", she said.〔("Hilary Duff comes clean" ). ''News Times''.

It sounds sort of like techno, but it's slow. It's really cool."〔Moss, Corey. ("Hilary Duff Plans Break From Movies" ). MTV News.
