Ella Langley Releases Miranda Lambert Co-Written Single 'Choosin' Texas'

Ella Langley, a rising star in contemporary country music from Alabama, is set to release her new single "Choosin' Texas" on October 17, co-written and co-produced with country legend Miranda Lambert. The song was inspired by Lambert's Texas roots and a humorous story she shared during a songwriter's retreat, highlighting themes of love and identity with a classic country storytelling style. Langley has described working with Lambert as a dream come true and praised the collaboration for allowing her artistry to shine through. Despite a brief health-related hiatus in 2025, Langley has had a breakthrough year, winning five ACM Awards and receiving six CMA nominations, and has resumed her sold-out tour with several upcoming dates. The single's cover art has sparked fan interest with perceived Easter eggs, and Langley plans to release more tracks before the end of the year, leading up to a full album in 2026. Her involvement in philanthropy and her blend of traditional and modern country influences continue to endear her to fans and the country music community.
