Rising country star Ella Langley is gearing up to release her brand-new single “Choosin’ Texas” this Friday, October 17 — and fans are already buzzing. Co-written with country legend Miranda Lambert, the song promises to blend Langley’s rugged charm with Lambert’s unmistakable storytelling flair. Expect a track full of grit, honesty, and southern pride.
A True Country Collaboration
Ella Langley has made a name for herself with songs that feel real and unapologetically authentic. From “Excuse the Mess” to her duet with Koe Wetzel, “That’s Why We Fight,” she’s never shied away from singing about life’s messier moments — love, strength, and standing your ground.
Now teaming up with Miranda Lambert, one of country music’s most respected songwriters, Langley is stepping into a new chapter. Lambert, known for hits like “The House That Built Me” and “Kerosene,” has always championed women who tell their stories their own way. So, it’s no surprise that this collaboration feels both natural and exciting.
What “Choosin’ Texas” Might Mean
Even before its release, the title “Choosin’ Texas” sparks curiosity. It sounds like a song about identity, independence, and knowing where you belong. Texas has always held a special place in country music — a symbol of freedom, roots, and authenticity. Those themes are right in line with both Langley and Lambert’s musical spirits.
If the song follows the vibe of Lambert’s past collaborations — like her rowdy hit with Elle King, “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home),” or the raw, acoustic storytelling of “The Marfa Tapes” — fans might be in for something heartfelt and organic, filled with emotion and simple, timeless production.
A Big Step for Ella Langley
“Choosin’ Texas” marks a big moment for Ella Langley. After years of touring with major acts and building a fanbase through her honest, powerhouse performances, she’s proving that she’s more than a rising voice — she’s a songwriter with staying power.
Working with Miranda Lambert is a major nod from Nashville’s elite, showing that Langley is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most promising storytellers.
As the release date approaches, excitement is building fast. If early reactions are any clue, “Choosin’ Texas” could be the song that takes Ella Langley from one-to-watch to country’s next breakout star.
