According to some of Nashville's most accomplished songwriters, it's a rare combination of great writing, memorable production and a performance that feels completely authentic.
If you've been following Langley's remarkable year, the praise comes as no surprise. Earlier this summer, "Choosin' Texas" became the longest-running No. 1 Hot 100 country hit by a female artist, breaking a record that had stood since Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" in 1977. More recently, we've also looked at how "Loving Life Again" is rapidly climbing the charts and appears poised to become Langley's next major hit.
"Choosin' Texas' is an instant country heartbreak classic, and Ella is the perfect artist to bring the song to life," Gorley said. "There are no wasted notes or lyrics; it sounds completely authentic."
Laura Veltz, whose credits include Maren Morris' "The Bones," Dan + Shay's "Speechless" and Kane Brown's "High Road," admired the song's emotional simplicity.
Several writers singled out another element listeners hear before Langley even begins singing: the instantly recognizable opening guitar riff.
Producer and songwriter Gabe Simon, who co-wrote seven songs on Noah Kahan's album Stick Season, shared perhaps the strongest endorsement of all. While working in London recently, he said a studio assistant asked where he was from. When he answered Nashville, she immediately started singing "Choosin' Texas."
Darrell Brown, the songwriter behind Keith Urban's "You'll Think of Me" and Josh Turner's "Why Don't We Just Dance," pointed to something even harder to achieve.
The songwriters' praise comes as "Choosin' Texas" continues rewriting the record books. The hit recently became the longest-running non-holiday No. 1 by a solo woman artist in Billboard Hot 100 history, surpassing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together."
