Earlier this week, it was rumored that Cobra Starship is working with "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi on their new album. Well, now it turns out that this rumor is even bigger, they're actually working with Gossip Girl starlet Leighton Meester.
Cobra Starship’s new single “Good Girls Go Bad” just premiered this AM on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show. The song features actress turned recording artist Leighton Meester and was co-written by DioGuardi.
On Thursday, Cobra Starship lead singer Gabe Saporta, Meester and DioGuardi jammed in a Los Angeles studio working on a remix of the song. The single was originally written for CS's new album but Saporta is an declared "Gossip Girl" fan, mentioning the show back in December, when he was asked to name his favorites of 2008. But the idea came when he heard Meester was working on an album, he thought "Girls" would be perfect for her. "CAN YOU BELIEVE I GET TO DO A SONG WITH BLAIR WALDORF?! It's no secret that I am a HUGE Gossip Girl fan. (On tour, our fans bring me copies of the episodes I am missing so I can stay caught up)," Saporta wrote. "A couple months ago, I heard a rumor that Leighton was working on a record, and I went to sleep that night dreaming of what it would be like to do a song with her. Next morning (afternoon, actually) I wake up to find out my dreams are coming true! Some people made phone calls to some other people, then, shazam! I'm on a plane to LA to record with my boo. I knew I had the perfect song for her too: 'I Make Good Girls Go Bad.' "
It's not confirmed if the song will end up on Meester's album, but the gossip girl will be finding time in her busy recording schedule to appear at 102.7 KIIS-FM's annual summer concert Wango Tango Music Festival tomorrow Saturday may 9th at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater-Irvine in CA.
