It's been a long time coming, but Leighton Meester finally announced the release date of her debut album.

Heartstrings, a nine-song album produced by Jeff Trott and written by Meester, will be available on Oct. 28 under Hotly Wanting. The former Gossip Girl actress also released the emotional title track on Tuesday.

"Heartstrings speaks to vibe and encompasses a lot of the themes of the rest of the album," Meester told Billboard. "It's been a long time coming and I'm very excited to finally release it."

The album is available for pre-order on iTunes.

Heartstrings lyrics:

Doing fine all on my own. 'Cause I know now that it's right for me. Now you're feeling all alone. I heard you're sorry now, but that's what you wanted. You took me for granted all the time.

Had to save my heart. Save it from all your evil games and now it ain't the same. You will have no such luck to try to come inside. It is to be denied.

Tie my heartstrings. I tie my heartstrings off. Tie my heartstrings. I tie my heartstrings off.

Boy you know I'm doing well. You try to catch me when I'm finally free. You only did this to yourself. I bet you're sorry now, but that's what you wanted. You took me for granted all the time.

Had to save my heart. Save it from all your evil games and now it ain't the same. You will have no such luck to try to come inside. It is to be denied.

Tie my heartstrings. I tie my heartstrings off. Tie my heartstrings. I tie my heartstrings off.

I was hiding for you. Now, I'm fine.
