"WHEN IN ROME: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK" is highlighted by the first single, 3OH!3's "Starstrukk (Feat. Katy Perry)."

What's more, The Friday Night Boys video for "Stupid Love Letter" - also directed by Sum 41's Steve Jocz - will premiere in January.
"WHEN IN ROME: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK" gathers tracks from an array of top stars and rising artists, including Matchbox Twenty, Needtobreathe, Laura Izibor, Paolo Nutini, Matt Hires, and multiple Grammy Award nominee Jason Mraz. Among the compilation's many highlights is an exclusive cover of Sweet's glam-rock classic, "Fox On The Run," performed by Fueled By Ramen recording group The Academy Is...(see tracklisting below). "WHEN IN ROME: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK" Deluxe Digital Edition will add a number of tracks from the film's score, including renditions of such Italian favorites as "Tarantella" and "Ave Maria."
Directed by Mark Steven Johnson ("Ghost Rider," "Simon Birch") and written by David Diamond & David Weissman ("Old Dogs," "The Family Man"), "When In Rome" stars Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars," "Couples Retreat") as an ambitious young New Yorker who, disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome, where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors. The film is produced by Gary Foster ("Sleepless In Seattle," "The Soloist"), Andrew Panay ("Wedding Crashers," "Van Wilder"), and Mark Steven Johnson.
