HARDY offers up background vocals, and co-wrote the song with Langley and Jordan Schmidt.
At first listen, the song seems to be a sweet, lovestruck track with lyrics such as “Darling, you’re one in a million,” as Langley seemingly praises her lover and “the songs you pick at the bar,” and “the way that you talk to your mama … yeah, you got some kind of heart.”
But then the second verse takes a scorning turn as Langley sings, “Then you went and hooked up with my friend.” From there, the same chorus takes on a sneering patina, as she veers from loving to scathing, at one point calling her cheating partner “a piece of …”
“This isn’t a love song…,” Langley said on social media in introducing the track to fans.
On the touring side of things, Langley has added more shows to her Still Hungover tour, now set to conclude in November with two shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. She is also an opener on two nights of Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem Tour when the trek visits Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisc., on June 28-29.
Langley was also recently honored during Billboard‘s Country Power Players event on June 4 in Nashville, alongside BigXThaPlug, Riley Green, Little Big Town, Music Health Alliance’s Tatum Allsep and AEG/Goldenvoice executive vp Stacy Vee.
