Leighton Meester "f**king loves love".
The actress-turned-singer likes nothing more than falling head-over-heels for someone, even though she admits she is a "cautious" partner.
The 23-year-old beauty's recent track with Robin Thicke begins, "Is there somebody who still believes in love?" which, she admits, she does.
She explained: "I love love. I f**king love love. What's weird is that, from a certain point of view, that song could be about someone who's jaded, but it could also be someone who has every hope in the world. I think that I'm a little bit of both. I'm very cautious, but I still throw my heart into it."
However, the 'Gossip Girl' star - who is dating her TV co-star Sebastian Stan - doesn't want anyone to take her song lyrics literally.
She explained to Britain's InStyle magazine: "I would never want anybody to associate my lyrics with how I am at this moment, because I draw from experiences that aren't necessarily current. I love to say I live in the moment, but I have a past."

Gwyneth Paltrow, Troy's Garrett Hedlund, Leighton Meester and Country star Tim McGraw have all signed up for musical drama Love Don't Let Me Down.
Tobey Maguire is producing the movie, which sees a rising young singer/songwriter (Hedlund) becoming involved with fallen Country crooner Paltrow.
But even as they attempt to reignite her career with a tour, romantic complications with her hubby/manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-warbler (Meester) threaten to bring them all down.
Yes, it sounds like we're in for a lot of tunes about sick cows and how women done their men wrong (and vice versa), but Country music has come on in leaps and bounds over the years, scraping its way into the mainstream.
Shana Feste is the writer/director behind the film, which at least feature the proven pipes of Paltrow and the slightly experienced (as in huge-selling) abilities of McGraw.
No idea when it'll hit these shores, but it starts shooting in - where else? - Nashville this coming January.

Leighton Meester is annoyed unsuitable people keep falling in love with her.
The 'Gossip Girl' actress has revealed her new song - Robin Thicke duet 'Somebody to Love' - is about her struggle to find a boyfriend now that she is famous.
She explained: "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.
"People love you but you don't really love them. It's about that struggle of finding someone."
Last month, Leighton denied rumours she was dating her co-star Chace Crawford.
She insisted the pair were just friends, claiming reports they were spotted kissing were untrue.
Earlier this year, the 23-year-old star, who plays high school queen bee Blair Waldorf in the hit US TV show, admitted her taste in men is similar to that of her alter ego.
She said: "I think guys who are rebels and make their own rules are appealing. I don't want to tame anybody. I want them to be dark and bad.
