Vanessa Hudgens is gearing up for a new assault on the charts –  and is giving us a sneak peek behind-the-scenes during the recording of new single, Sneakernight.

The High School Musical starlet has revealed that she hopes to take her career in a more adult direction with her new solo record  – but not too adult.

She says, "It's definitely more grown-up. But not to the point where I'm singing, 'I'm so hot! I'm so hot! Boys want me. I'm so hot!'"

Vanessa’s new album Identified hits stores in June. Sneakernight is available on iTunes from May 20.
