"Weird" is a pop rock song written and produced by Charlie Midnight, Marc Swersky and Ron Entwistle, and recorded for Hilary Duff's second album, Hilary Duff (2004). It was released as a radio single in Spain in December 2004 (see 2004 in music).[1][verification needed]
"Weird" is a moderately paced song that has a 4/4 time signature and is in the key of A minor.[2] According to The Washington Post, the song "is sung to a complicated boy with a 'scar above [his] lip' and features gonzo drumming and whoo-hoo background vocals."[3] Duff said of the song, "I love [it] ... It is really weird when you listen to the beat and the words. It's about someone that she's still obsessed with. And everything he does is like he says this, but he does this. And he does this but he says this. It's all twisted around and backwards. She's not really sure who he is or what he does, but she likes it."[4]
The song was recorded in Los Angeles, California during the weekend of May 22, 2004.[5] In a Hilary Duff edition of Life Story Magazine, Duff's manager stated that "Weird" was to be the first single from Hilary Duff,[citation needed] but "Fly" replaced it. In November 2004, Duff said she wanted "Weird" to be the second full single release from the album,[6] but "Someone's Watching over Me" replaced it in Australia.ĄĮ
