Ella Langley Turns Inward On Reflective New Single ‘Be Her’ Ahead Of Dandelion Release

by | Feb 14, 2026

Multi-platinum country star Ella Langley has released her brand new single Be Her, a candid and introspective anthem that offers a glimpse into the emotional core of her forthcoming sophomore album Dandelion, due for release on 10th April.

Written by Langley alongside HARDY, Smith Ahnquist and Jordan Schmidt, and produced by Langley with Ben West and Miranda Lambert, Be Her finds the Alabama-born artist turning inward. Trading high-drama storytelling for quiet self-examination, the track explores the gap between who you are and who you’re striving to become.

Over steady, emotionally grounded instrumentation, Langley sings of a simpler, more centred version of herself — someone who doesn’t need external validation and feels secure in her own skin. “She don’t need validation or much of anything,” she declares, capturing the song’s central theme of authenticity over chaos and self-assurance over noise. Driven by her unmistakable vocal tone and direct lyrical approach, Be Her feels less like a reinvention and more like an evolution.

“I knew Be Her was a hit the second we started writing it,” says co-writer HARDY. “It’s one of those songs that basically wrote itself. We were done in 30 minutes. Those are always the best ones. It’s so fun to watch Ella and the rocket ship that she’s on, and I’m just happy to be a part of it.”

The official video, co-directed by Langley and Wales Toney, mirrors the song’s reflective mood. A subtle, ritual-like moment unfolds onscreen, hinting at transformation and personal revelation. It’s understated yet intentional — much like the track itself.

Be Her joins previously released singles Dandelion and Choosin’ Texas on the upcoming album. The latter continues to dominate across multiple charts, underlining Langley’s growing presence as one of modern country’s most formidable voices. Crafted alongside executive producers Miranda Lambert and Ben West, Dandelion promises a body of work rooted in growth, lived experience and emotional honesty — balancing raw vulnerability with moments of release and celebration.

The release arrives during a landmark moment in Langley’s career. The Dandelion Tour has already sold out across all 16 arena dates in North America, a significant milestone as she steps confidently into headline territory. Kicking off on 7th May in Toledo, Ohio and wrapping on 15th August in Fort Worth, Texas, the tour will feature support from Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth across select dates.

Beyond the stage, Langley has also been unveiled as the face of American Eagle’s latest nationwide campaign, further cementing her crossover appeal as both an artist and cultural presence.

With Be Her, Ella Langley offers a reminder that growth isn’t always loud or dramatic — sometimes it’s about quietly becoming the person you’ve always hoped to be. As Dandelion approaches, it’s clear she’s stepping fully into that space.

Twenty Flight Rockers Make A Triumphant Return To London After 39 Years At The 100 Club

It has been 39 years since Twenty Flight Rockers last played in London, but the wait is finally over. Persuaded that the time is right for a reunion, the band have returned for a short run of shows celebrating the release of Live ’85, the live album originally intended to be their debut release. For those of us who remember seeing them in their heyday, this is a chance to revisit a band whose rockabilly-fuelled energy has clearly lost none of its appeal. I can hardly believe it has been almost four decades since I last saw them perform.

Mutations Festival 2026 – Friday: From Harp Strings To Bedlam And Everything In Between

Ever since first attending Mutations in 2022, I have described it as a more manageable, densely packed version of The Great Escape. Since the festival condensed into two days, that description has become even more apt. Spanning multiple genres and a good selection of the city’s venues, it is a no-brainer for local live music fans looking to broaden their horizons and discover their next favourite band.
