"So Yesterday" is a song recorded by American singer Hilary Duff for her second studio album, ''Metamorphosis'' (2003). It was written and produced by The Matrix (a production team consisting of Lauren Christy, Scott Spock and Graham Edwards), with additional writing from Charlie Midnight. The song is influenced by pop rock music, and the lyrics chronicle the protagonist getting over a breakup with her boyfriend, declaring him as "so yesterday". The song received mixed reviews from music critics, with some of them noting its close similarity to Avril Lavigne's works, while others named it one of Duff's best songs ever. "So Yesterday" premiered on AOL Music's "First Listen" on June 27, 2003. It was serviced to mainstream radio in the United States on July 15, 2003. The song became Duff's first single to chart in the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, reaching number forty-two. It was moderately successful outside the US, reaching top forty in most countries it charted. The song reached number eight in Australia and was certified platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The song was accompanied by a music video, directed by Chris Applebaum, which showed Duff playing a prank on her ex-boyfriend. It was successful on various music video channels like MTV and MuchMusic. Duff performed the song on her Metamorphosis Tour and has since performed it on all her concert tours. The song is also featured on the compilations ''Most Wanted'' (2005), ''4Ever Hilary'' (2006) and ''Best of Hilary Duff'' (2008), and the music video game ''Band Hero''. ==Background and release== Although Duff recorded songs like "I Can't Wait", "Why Not" and "What Dreams Are Made Of", which received substantial airplay on Radio Disney,〔 executives at Buena Vista Music Group, Duff's record label, planned to help her reach a more mature audience. So, Andre Recke, an executive at Buena Vista, along with Duff and her mother, enlisted the songwriting and production team "The Matrix" (consisting of Lauren Christy, Scott Spock and Graham Edwards) to produce songs for Duff's debut album ''Metamorphosis'' (2003).〔 "So Yesterday" became one of three songs produced by the team for the album, and was the last song recorded for the album. Duff herself has said that when she first heard the song, she did not really like it; however, her opinion changed after she listened to it more often.〔 She then decided she would give the song a "100 percent" and not comment negatively of it.〔 According to her, she "ended up loving it", stating, "It was such a fun song, and it means a lot."〔 Bob Cavallo, chairman of Buena Vista Records, said that the song was "more mature than the past work that she's done."〔 〕 "So Yesterday" premiered on AOL Music's "First Listen" on June 27, 2003, and it drew over 500,000 streams in two days. It was released to mainstream radio in the United States on July 15, and was the "most added" song on the format in its first two weeks of release. The song is featured on all of Duff's compilations album, including ''Most Wanted'' (2005), ''4ever'' (2006) and her greatest hits album, ''Best of Hilary Duff'' (2008). It is also featured on the music video game ''Band Hero'' as a bonus download. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「So Yesterday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
