Ashley Tisdale gets up close and personal with AOL’s PopEater about her new album, Guilty Pleasure.

The 23-year-old actress/singer dished about her new single, “It’s Alright, It’s Ok,” her best friends, and producing. Check it:

On her new single, “It’s Alright, It’s Ok”: “My single is one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s just a big anthem song, totally independent woman song. It’s a break-up one. I love break-up songs, which is really funny. It’s really woman driven and I’m excited for it to come out.”

On her upcoming sophomore album: “I’m really excited about my new album. It’s very rock, a lot more guitar driven. It’s really exciting because I’ve been working on it for a very long time. I just can’t wait to see and hear what everyone thinks of it.”

On being behind the camera: “This whole side of entertainment — producing — is really amazing and so new to me. I have my own office at the Freemantle building. I have a partner that I work with, and we come up with tons of ideas. Producing is a hobby, and a new way for me to get to be part of the creative process.”

On hanging with her best friends: “I love all of them, but I have to say Vanessa [Hudgens] is one of my best friends. So is Zac [Efron], but I had so much fun with Dylan and Cole Sprouse on ‘The Suite Life’ — I still hang out with them even though I’m not on the show. They were my first family beside ‘High School Musical’ and were such a joy to work with, so we keep up our relationship. And Brenda Song is like my other sister. I’m really lucky to have great experiences with the casts I’ve been a part of. I don’t think that always happens.”
