Ella Langley is still living in the world of Hungover, and honestly, we’re not mad about it. Her debut album — and the deluxe follow-up Still Hungover — has been a major hit, and Ella’s not ready to close that chapter just yet. She’s giving the songs time to breathe, to connect, and to grow with her fans before diving into the next big thing.
But don’t worry — that doesn’t mean she’s not working on what’s coming next. In fact, Ella is already deep in the creative zone for her second album. She told Audacy’s Katie & Company that the next record won’t drop until 2026, and there’s a reason behind that decision.
“People move on from a record so fast,” Ella shared. “They get 20 songs, pick one single, and then it’s on to the next.” But not this time. Ella wants to give each track the attention it deserves.
Her debut gave us standout hits like “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green — which topped the charts and even earned a CMA award — and her solo smash “Weren’t For The Wind.” And let’s not forget fan favorites like “Nicotine,” “Hungover,” and “Better Be Tough.” With so many strong tracks, she’s hoping to squeeze at least one more single out of Hungover before she shifts gears.
But new music is coming — just not in album form yet. “I’m not going a whole year and a half without releasing anything,” she said. Instead, fans can expect a few songs that stand alone — ones that didn’t quite fit her next project, but still show off different sides of who she is.
As for that next album? Ella calls it a “concept piece” — a complete, carefully crafted story that she’s co-producing herself. “It’s the coolest thing I’ve gotten to do,” she said. “There are so many layers. I can’t wait to talk about it… but not yet.” She even knew the title for the album the same day she filmed the video for “You Look Like You Love Me.”
Ella isn’t just throwing songs together — she’s building something that lasts. “I think there’s something powerful about taking your time,” she explained. “I want fans to keep finding new things in this album every time they listen. It’s not just music — it’s art.”
She’s not following trends or copying other artists. Instead, she’s trusting her gut. “This is my vision, my art, and my team believes in it. That makes all the difference.”
Compared to Hungover, which felt like a collection of favorites, this new album is something entirely different. “Now I have the concept first — and I’m writing toward it,” she explained. “It’s like having a baby,” she joked. “It’s all I think about, every single day.”
In the meantime, fans can enjoy her latest single “Never Met Anyone Like You” featuring HARDY, and maybe even catch her live — if they can get tickets. She recently extended her sold-out Still Hungover tour, added new dates that sold out in minutes, and is touring with Riley Green and joining Morgan Wallen for eight stadium shows.
One thing’s for sure — Ella Langley isn’t just chasing hits. She’s building something bigger, deeper, and unforgettable. And we can’t wait to hear what comes next.
