Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester, who provided guest vocals on the Cobra Starship single Good Girls Go Bad, released her first single as solo artist earlier today … which we get to listen to here on the blog right now. The track, Somebody To Love, features sexy crooner Robin Thicke on vocals and, in all honest, is not a bad song at all. Here is the cover artwork for Leighton‘s debut single and the lyrics to the song:
Somebody To Love (Featuring Robin Thicke)
Paris France to Michigan
London town and through Berlin
I can’t believe this place I’m in
Everywhere and back again
Porcelain and China Dolls
Give me one and I’ve seen them all
Got my back against the wall
Wonder where I’ll be tomorrow?
But wait, now how long could this take?
It’s hard to find a man,
When you’re gone before he wakes.
They say it’s hard to achieve
But can’t a girl believe?
CHORUS:
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
ROBIN THICKE:
Baby girl, there you at
Looking at me like a putty cat
Wondering where that thing is at
Wondering where your ring is at
Nobody ever did it quite like this
Nobody ever did it quite like you
Do your hair, I bought you shoes
We can hit the town like superstars do
You lookin’ for love? Then let me show you love
Give me the key to your heart
I can give you what you want
When you’re waiting for love
And you’re lookin’ for someone
I’mma turn this gossip girl into a woman
CHORUS:
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there (I know you’re out there)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know you’re out there
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
Je t’adore, Je t’adore (I love you, I love you)
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Je t’adore, Je t’adore (I love you, I love you)
Make a move, do the thing
Turn around, strike a pose
Ooh, I like it
Ooh, I need it
Ooh, I want it
Hey Hey
I know it’s hard to achieve
But can’t a girl believe?
CHORUS:
Is there somebody (Is there somebody?)
who still believes in love? (Who still believes?)
I know you’re out there (I know you’re out there)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
Is there somebody who still believes in love? (who still believes)
I know you’re out there (who still believes)
There’s got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I can’t seem to find
Somebody to love
(You say hello, I say goodbye) x2
Somebody to love
I really like this song … it’s really sexy. Considering how much I like Good Girls Go Bad, I might end up liking Leighton‘s whole album. HMMM. After the jump, listen to the song in full …
FYI, you can blame On Air with Ryan Seacrest for the Music On Demand audio tag. I like this track … what do y’all think?

She actually has a really good voice…when she uses it. She kind of sounds like Regina Spektor.
By the time it got to the “je t’adore” part, I just felt embarrassed for her- that’s cheesy beyond belief- bad lyrics, boring song. I agree that she actually *does* have a good voice, and I also love the Cobra Starship song for it’s catchiness, but this is not a good example of ..anything.
Love the girl but this is a craptacular track. It’s like 12 robots singing featuring Leighton and Robin Thick.
She dunno how to sing ! Her skills are like Lindsay Lohan’s… nonextistent ! Actually she sounds a lot like Lindsay Lohan did in “Bossy”… the song’s another pop song after another… nothing really interesting to launch a real carreer ! She should take singing classes. She’s a good actress she should stick to it !
good girls go bad is the stupidest song of the year. horribly cheesy. this is only slightly better.
its a shame, she’s got a good voice just terrible taste in music choices.
Why, Robin…WHY??? You could do so much better!
“Do your hair, I bought you shoes” ???
The fact that someone was paid for these lyrics is frightening.
HATE.
i think she only actually sang like ONE line (I know you’re out there (echo) in the 2nd chorus) in the entire song and the rest was sex-ed up talking..
unless that one line was sung by a backup singer, I think she sounded not too bad, if not a tad bit too synthesized..
let’s have some real music featuring real vocals from her please!
BAG OF GENERIC SHIT
I can’t even tell it’s the same Leighton that sang in “Good Girls Gone Bad”. Definately, different vibe. I like both and it definately shows some versatility. I’m a big Britney fan, and if she can get away with songs where she’s talking rather than singing, I’ll let Leighton slide.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. no thanks.
the song is SO dull.
terrible!
[...] Spotted over at Pink is the New Blog [...]
I’d rather delete Leighton’s parts and keep Robin’s. He’s awesome!
It was not suppose to feature her vocals, everyone should not let that impact your thought of the song. I agree with what someone posted above, the chorus is the weak part (but probably the part that will make it do well since its easy to remember), but the versus are actually really good. I want everyone to dissect all the lyrics you hear in pop music, its not very good, ever, and I love me some cheesy pop music.
I thought her first single was “body control”?
songs not bad though.
