H2: New single arrives after major career milestone
Ella Langley is riding a career high. After picking up five ACM Awards as a first-time nominee and landing her first-ever Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “Choosin’ Texas,” the 26-year-old Alabama native will release her follow-up single, “Be Her,” tonight at midnight. The song is the second preview from her forthcoming album, Dandelion, which is set to arrive April 10.
H2: What to expect from “Be Her”
Co-written with hitmakers HARDY, Jordan Schmidt and Smith Ahnquist, “Be Her” is described as a wistful, self-reflective country tune about insecurity and comparison. Langley offered a short lyric teaser on social media; one standout line fans have shared reads, “I just wanna be her so bad.” The full track drops across streaming platforms tonight.
H3: Social teasers and fan reaction
Langley teased “Be Her” on Instagram on Feb. 10 and returned Feb. 12 to remind fans the song would arrive at midnight. Fans flooded comments with early praise — one wrote it was already their favorite song of 2026 after hearing only a preview clip.

H2: How “Be Her” fits into Langley’s momentum
“Choosin’ Texas” not only became Langley’s first Hot 100 topper but also made headlines as the first song by a woman to simultaneously top the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts — a rare triple-chart feat. With that momentum behind her, expectations are high for “Be Her” and the full Dandelion album.
H3: What’s next
Dandelion arrives April 10 and will include “Choosin’ Texas,” “Be Her” and other new material. Langley said the record represents growth and a clearer sense of self: “I feel the most myself I’ve ever felt.” Fans streaming “Be Her” tonight will get the first full taste of that next chapter.
Short take: Expect a vulnerable, radio-ready track that leans into Langley’s rising-country star status. Stream “Be Her” at midnight and look for Dandelion on April 10.
