Leighton Meester has finally released the first single off her forthcoming debut album. After the "Gossip Girl" star teased fans with her duet with Cobra Starship, the VMA-nominated "Good Girls Go Bad," as well as the leaked track "Birthday," the actress-turned-singer has hooked up with Robin Thicke on "Somebody to Love."
Although no release date has been set for the record, Meester recently spoke to EW.com about the track, produced by Mike Caren and Oligee (Flo Rida, Cobra Starship). "I so often get love confused with sex and vice versa," she said about "Somebody to Love." "And the song is basically about how I can't get any — I can't find anyone to love."
The song, which mixes Meester's pop-electronica vibe with Thicke's smooth R&B stylings, harks back to Madonna's early-'90s dance music. Meester told EW that she was ber-excited about working with Thicke. "He's so soulful, and his voice is so flawless and beautiful," she said. "I don't even think he knows how much I love him."
The song was written by Rico Love, who has worked with artists like Jamie Foxx, Beyonc and Usher. "I was honored when I found out that my record was chosen to be Leighton's first single. It's exciting to be able to show a different side of my work and me," Love said in a statement. "I listen and study all types of music, and I want to share that with the world. What better way to do that than with one of the biggest stars in entertainment today."
"GG" fans shouldn't worry that Meester has any plans to leave her home on the Upper East Side for her music career. For now, she feels perfectly fine being both an actor and a singer. "I don't know if I can really choose a favorite of what I want to do more or what I love more, 'cause I feel like I always felt I can do both," she told MTV News earlier this year. "I feel like it goes hand in hand. Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing."

Still plugging away at the new fall season, Leighton Meester was spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” yesterday in New York City.
The “Killer Movie” chick was sporting a vintage hippie look as she strolled around the lot in between takes in a yellow embroidered top with a matching grey dress and sandals.
As for her recent collaboration with the band Cobra Starship “Good Girls Go Bad,” bassist Alex Suarez told press that she added a ‘girlie’ vibe to their studio session.
“She like, turned the lights down low in the studio and lit a few candles to set the mood. I’ve never seen candles in the studio before.”
He continued, “So she’s like, ‘You make me want to lose control,’ alone in the dark surrounded by vanilla and lavender, clenching her fist, just really feeling it.”

Celebrating a friend’s birthday at Philippe in East Hampton Saturday night, Leighton Meester and friends got into a Happy Birthday shouting/screaming match with girls at a nearby table. According to a diner, two tables of girls shrieking Happy Birthday at each other is rather irritating.
“She was rallying her friends to out-scream the ‘Happy Birthday’ song of a nearby table of girls,” says a diner. “Both tables started screaming obnoxiously back and forth at one another until Leighton finally stood up on the table and started dancing.”
Leighton seems fun. None of my screaming matches end in a sexy dance-off. Most of the time it’s just me slamming the door to my room, swearing I’m going to move out of my parent’s house and crying into a pile of stuffed animals. Do every one of her arguments end in a weird case of tourettes? Because I wouldn’t mind being emasculated in front of my friends if it meant being able to watch that hot piece of ass jump on a table and start wiggling her ass at me in a short skirt.
