The acronym G.B.F. stands for "Gay Best Friend" which has recently been deemed the hottest new fad at North Gateway High School; the Queen Bees need a G.B.F.! But there is one big problem: none of the gay guys at their posh suburban high school are out of the closet. The vicious lady monarchs of the school, a.k.a. the three lead prom queen candidates, are not going to let this minor glitch get in their way; a G.B.F. is just what they need to give them that edgy, high-fashion appeal and win over the ultimate prize: the high school popularity crown. The soundtrack album to the movie features various artists including Dragonette. Veva, Hi Fashion and Tegan and Sara...

The soundtrack album to G.B.F. features a variety of artists. The majority of tracks are light, fun pop songs, which is to be expected given the movie's target market of teenage girls. With that in mind, there's a good selection of tracks here that will appeal to fans of the film.

The album contains 13 tracks (55 min). Personal favourite tracks include 'Wild' by Royal Teeth and 'Lighthouse' performed by Hi Fashion. The only track I really disliked was Glacial Walls's butchering of Spandau Ballet's 1983 hit 'True'.
