"Roommates" features lyrics about longing for the exciting and intimate parts of a romantic relationship that's since become a bit more mundane.
"I only want the beginning, I don't want the end / Want the part where you say, 'Goddamn' / Back of the dive bar, giving you head /Then sneak home late, wake up your roommates," she sings on the chorus.
Reminiscing on a time when she and a partner weren't "practically roommates," she sings later in the track, "I'm touching myself looking at porn / 'Cause you don't even look my way no more."
In a statement about the single, Duff explained, "'Roommates' is a song about when life is life-ing, babe."

The performer, who's married to husbandMatthew Koma, continued, "It's that ache for a wilder, freer time — before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It's the restless hum of wanting to find your way back — to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself."
In support ofluck...or something, Duff's Small Rooms, Big Nerves Tour will continue in Toronto on Jan. 24, before heading to the U.S. for more shows, including aresidency in Las Vegas.
