News: &#8220;It\u2019s definitely something that I want to continue to do and I really enjoy doing, but I\u2019ve been focusing a lot more on acting and my family and everything for the last handful of years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leighton now intends to turn her focus towards making new music in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Somebody to Love&#8217; hitmaker shared: &#8220;I\u2019m always writing and I\u2019ve done a little bit of recording.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019d like to focus a little bit more on it in the next year or so. I had so much fun when I did it. Touring was really fun. Just every little piece of it is its own little adventure and I really enjoy it and I love having this piece of work out &#8211; even when I hear it now &#8211; 20-something me wrote it and it sort of morphs and changes meaning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLeighton previously revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic derailed her plans to release new music.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if she planned to return to music, Leighton told Cosmopolitan in 2022: &#8220;The short answer is yes. Hopefully soon. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I have a bunch of stuff written and recorded and ready to go. It\u2019s just a matter of when I can release it and when I can make time for that.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I had it ready and set to go, and then pandemic \u2026 And I\u2019ve had another child. So I thought, \u2018This isn\u2019t the right timing.\u2019 So I think that the timing will probably happen this year, hopefully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/leighton-meester-wants-return-music-1414046.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 February 2025 Leighton Meester plans to return to music.
