"Why Not" is a song recorded by American actress and singer Hilary Duff. It was written by Charlie Midnight with Matthew Gerrard, who also produced the song. It was released on March 21, 2003, by Walt Disney Records as the first single from The Lizzie McGuire Movie soundtrack. The version of the song on Duff's 2003 album, Metamorphosis, features different lyrics in the first verse.
Release
Disney International released the single commercially in Australia on June 16, 2003. The CD single release includes a remix of "Why Not," a remix of "I Can't Wait" and the music video. Later in 2003, a different version of "Why Not" was included on Hilary Duff's second album, Metamorphosis. According to Duff, the song is also included as a single for the album Metamorphosis.[3]
Versions
"Why Not" has four versions. The main version is the one which Duff originally recorded for the soundtrack of The Lizzie McGuire Movie. The second version features different lyrics in the first verse and was included on Metamorphosis. A third version was released on Duff's 2005 compilation album, Most Wanted, and is a slightly remixed version of the recording released on Metamorphosis. The Metamorphosis album version is included on Duff's 2008 compilation album, Best of Hilary Duff. In addition, a newly re-recorded version subtitled “(Mine),” was included on the Walmart exclusive edition of Duff’s 2026 album Luck… or Something, and later her third extended play "(Mine)", which features several re-recordings of her earlier hits.
Music video
The music video was directed by Elliott Lester and shot in downtown Los Angeles. It premiered on the Disney Channel on March 21, 2003, after the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track.[4] The video became the first of Duff's to air on MTV after a viewer requested it on the popular show Total Request Live. The video debuted on the show's countdown at number six a few days later. The video shows Duff singing from a rooftop; this is inter-cut with scenes of street scenes of skipping, break dancing and crowds running, as well as waist shots of extras mouthing the words. Two distinct versions of the video exist; the one includes scenes from The Lizzie McGuire Movie while the other does not.
Commercial performance
The single debuted on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number forty in week twenty-six of 2003, and it peaked at number fourteen in its twelfth week, remaining on the chart for sixteen weeks. The song also reached the top twenty in New Zealand and the Netherlands.[5] As of July 27, 2014, the song had sold 124,000 digital copies in the United States.[6]
