Dignity is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Hilary Duff. It was released on March 21, 2007, by Hollywood Records. After releasing her third studio album Hilary Duff (2004), she experienced an eventful personal life, including a stalking incident, her parents getting divorced and her breakup with her boyfriend Joel Madden after two years of dating. Consequently, Duff assumed an integral position in its production, co-writing almost every track with longtime collaborator Kara DioGuardi instead of her previously-limited involvement.
