Welcome to 'Dandelion' land: Ella Langley unveils sophomore album

Sold-out ‘The Dandelion Tour’ begins May 7

Press release

Multi-Platinum, chart-topping, and award-winning country star Ella Langley lets her artistry bloom on “Dandelion,” her highly anticipated sophomore album, out now via SAWGOD/Columbia Records. Executive produced by Langley alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West, the album represents her most deeply personal body of work to date. The album title is a statement of identity and independence, reframing the often-overlooked flower into a symbol of resilience and freedom.

“ ‘Dandelion’ is a natural next phase after ‘hungover,’ ” Langley said. “ ‘hungover’ is what brought people to the table, and ‘Dandelion’ is what makes them sit down and eat. This album explains who I am as an artist and as a person. It reflects on what made me this way while giving a glimpse of what’s next. It’s my favorite project I’ve ever done, it’s the most ‘me’ I’ve ever put out.”

That sense of self is evident from the very first note. The album opens with a “Froggy Went A Courtin’ ” intro, one of the first songs Langley learned to sing alongside her grandfather at his piano. From there, she moves effortlessly between stripped-back reflection and full-band release, pairing unfiltered storytelling with infectious, singalong melodies.

Arriving on the heels of her chart-topping, Platinum-certified single “Choosin’ Texas,” which continues its historic run atop the Billboard Hot 100, “Dandelion” finds Langley operating with a new level of clarity and confidence. Her songwriting remains both intentional and unguarded, capturing moments that feel deeply personal yet instantly relatable. The project was introduced by standout tracks “Loving Life Again,” “Be Her,” and the title track, “Dandelion.”

Album highlight “Bottom Of Your Boots” offers one of the album’s most personal moments and was previewed on “This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von.”

“The title for this song actually came from my dad,” Langley shared. “One night I was having a hard moment and my dad looked at me and said, ‘Baby, you’re fine. I love you from the bottom of my boots to the top of my hat.’ ”

The album’s sole feature, “Butterfly Season” with Lambert, captures a moment of transformation and details a turning point centered on growth, change, and stepping into something new.

“Ella has a fiery spirit,” Lambert shared with Rolling Stone. “She lives life in a big way and on her own terms. With this record, I wanted to honor her vision every step of the way. … It felt important to help her make choices that stayed true to who she is as an artist.”

“Ella had a clear vision from the start and creative control the whole way,” added co-executive producer West. “I love that the songs on ‘Dandelion’ cover a lot of ground and showcase her ability to draw from her roots but make something entirely her own. It was a joy to work with Ella, Miranda, and the incredible crew that came together to bring this album to life.”

With “Dandelion,” Langley further cements her place as one of the most compelling and undeniable voices at the forefront of country music’s next generation.

In support of the new project, Langley will soon hit the road to play her first headline arena run, “The Dandelion Tour.” Kicking off May 7 in Toledo, Ohio, the tour stops in St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Austin, and more before wrapping in Fort Worth, Texas, on Aug. 15. Joining Langley on tour as support across various dates is Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose and Laci Kaye Booth. Also on the schedule for 2026 are Langley’s previously announced dates supporting Morgan Wallen’s “Still The Problem Tour,” and several festival appearances, including her Stagecoach debut this April.
