Ella Langley is making waves in the music industry with her latest single, “Choosin’ Texas.” The country singer-songwriter’s track debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this month and has steadily climbed to No. 21 this week. As the song continues to gain popularity, it is poised to enter the Top 20 soon.
Collaborative Creation
“Choosin’ Texas” showcases a strong collaboration between Langley and fellow artists. The song was co-produced by Langley and Ben West, with contributions from Luke Dick, Joybeth Taylor, and Miranda Lambert, who also lends her voice for background vocals. In a recent statement, Langley reflected on the songwriting process, highlighting a memorable writing retreat where the idea for the song was born.
“I had the amazing opportunity to sit down in a room with Miranda, Luke, and Joybeth about a year ago,” she shared. “Miranda, being from Texas, started telling us one of her wild stories about drinking and doing something ridiculous. I said, ‘Well, she’s from Texas, I can tell.’ As soon as I said that, we all just looked at each other like — yep, that’s it! That’s the next song.”
Support from a Country Icon
Lambert expressed her admiration for Langley, stating, “Ella may have grown up in Alabama, but she has a rowdy, fiery side that us Texas women recognize and respect. She’s an artist through and through, and it was important to me to let her artistry shine through at every stage of the process.” Lambert’s endorsement not only highlights Langley’s talent but also positions her firmly in the country music landscape.
In recognition of her rising status, Langley received multiple nominations at the 2025 CMA Awards, where she took home three awards, further solidifying her place in the industry. During the event, she performed “Choosin’ Texas” for its television debut, captivating audiences with her dynamic presence.
Langley first introduced “Choosin’ Texas” to live audiences in February during a performance in Texas. With a busy schedule ahead, she is set to open for several prominent acts in 2026, generating excitement among fans and industry insiders alike. Tickets for her upcoming tour are now available.
As “Choosin’ Texas” continues to ascend the charts, it is clear that Ella Langley is an artist to watch. Her collaboration with established names like Miranda Lambert only adds to the anticipation surrounding her future endeavors. For those interested in experiencing her music, “Choosin’ Texas” is available on various streaming platforms.
