Versatile songwriter Hilary Duff talks writing a duet
Quote:
Last year Hilary recorded “Night Like This” and was in need of a dreamy counterpart to be the yin to her yang in the duet.
“It was actually one of the tougher songs to write on the album too, because I wanted it to be so conversational,” she told MTV News of the song. “I knew I wanted it to be a duet, but it didn’t start out like, ’This is going to be for me and Kendall’ — it was like, ‘Who’s going to do this? Ah, Kendall.’ He’s my good friend forever.”
Kevin Schmidt, Kendall’s brother, starred alongside Hilary in “Cheaper By The Dozen” back in 2003 — and their families have been close friends ever since, so that’s how they met in the first place.

Kendall chimed in:
Quote:
"It was a real treat to be on it because I’ve known Hilary for like, I don’t know, 15 years now so it’s pretty cool,” Kendall dished in a recent radio interview.
“I think it was based on a night that either Hilary had or wanted to have,” he added. “[When] I was recording the song with her, she told me all about the feeling of it — and there was even a time when I was singing a line and she was like, ’You know, imagine standing there with me, like you’re saying this to me,’ and I was like, ’OK, well I have to imagine how I would say that if I was on a date.'”
Kendall also gushed: “I’m so proud of it.”
