Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester has revealed that her debut single is about her struggle to find a boyfriend.

The actress released Somebody To Love, the first song from her debut album, earlier this month.

And Meester, who dates Gossip Girl co-star Sebastian Stan in real life, said the song was written about her own experiences.

She told Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show: "It is about what's going on in my life and I think everyone can relate to it.

“It's about being crazy, busy, young and running round and it is really, really hard to find somebody to love."

Meester added: "People love you but you don't really love them. It's about that struggle of finding someone."

The 23-year-old actress, who plays Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl, is due to release her as-yet-untitled album next year.
