The country singer, whose chart-topping hit “Choosin’ Texas” recently made history, has been confirmed as a featured artist on Gretchen Wilson’s upcoming re-recording of “Here For The Party.”
The announcement was shared by Whiskey Riff on Instagram and comes just days after Langley and Wilson reunited onstage during CMA Fest 2026.
The new version of the song is part of Wilson’s special duets project celebrating the 22nd anniversary of her record-breaking debut album, Here For The Party. Langley will appear on the album’s title track, which was released on Friday through Redneck Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers.

Wilson recently confirmed the collaboration while discussing the all-star lineup for the upcoming project.
“I decided to rerecord the first album and do it all as duets, every song on there, except for ‘Pocahontas Proud.’ That’s the final track on there because that one’s a little too personal. I couldn’t imagine asking someone else to sing that they’re from Pocahontas,” she said, per Country Now.
“I’ve got a big lineup of different people. I think I’ve got Travis Tritt on ‘Holding You.’ I’ve got Ashley McBryde on one. I’ve got Miranda Lambert singing with me on one. Ella’s going to be on one. I already said Cody Johnson,” Wilson added.
The collaboration gives fans another chance to hear the pair together after their memorable performances over the past year. Langley and Wilson officially opened the nationally televised CMA Fest presented by SoFi broadcast with a high-energy performance of Wilson’s 2004 hit.
Langley stepped onto the Nissan Stadium stage wearing an all-leather outfit with fringe details, while Wilson wore a sparkling sequin top. Together, they traded vocals on “Here For The Party,” turning the crowd into one giant sing-along.
Wilson previously revealed that her son-in-law is a member of Langley’s touring crew, allowing the singers to build a close relationship on and off the stage.
Their latest CMA Fest appearance was not their first time performing the song together. Langley and Wilson also shared the stage during Langley’s sold-out concert at the Ryman Auditorium last November.
The original version of “Here For The Party” was written by Wilson alongside fellow Muzik Mafia members John Rich and Big Kenny. It became Wilson’s second No. 1 hit after “Redneck Woman” and has remained one of the signature songs of her career.
Ella Langley’s Busy Year Continues
Meanwhile, the announcement arrives while Langley continues an incredible stretch in her career. Her blockbuster single “Choosin’ Texas” recently became the longest-running No. 1 by a solo female artist in the history of Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart after spending a record-setting 28th week at the top.
Away from the charts, Langley also recently announced a 21-date fall extension of The Dandelion Tour, adding more arena shows across the United States through Halloween.
Even with her packed touring schedule, Langley has continued sharing moments with fans online.

Langley continues building momentum with sold-out shows, historic chart achievements and collaborations that further establish her place among country music’s biggest names.
