Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen Drop First-Ever Duet, ‘I Can’t Love You Anymore’

Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen, two of the most buzzed-about country artists right now, have released their first-ever duet, “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”

Penned by Langley with Austin Goodloe and Joybeth Taylor, “I Can’t Love You Anymore” is a smoky, slow-burning track that pairs effortlessly with the story of two lovers who just can’t seem to let go of what they once had. The lyrics paint a picture of lingering heartbreak, where memories still feel hard to escape, even though they try hard to convince themselves it’s over.

Langley opens by capturing the constant push-and-pull she feels toward her love interest, before the two come together on the chorus. Wallen then takes over in the second verse, offering his perspective their struggle to let go of the emotional attachment they both hold.

“I can’t love you anymore/ Can’t keep chasing you around, ’round the back of my mind/ I can’t need you anymore/ Can’t keep sharing this bed with your ghost every night/ I hate that your kiss left a burn on my lips/ Oh baby, how do I tell my heart it ain’t yours//When I’ve said it before?/ I can’t love you anymore,” the country acts sing together on the chorus.

The vocal chemistry between Wallen and Langley is undeniable, with their voices blending in a way that really brings out the best in each other.

The pair of superstars sent fans into a frenzy nearly a week ago when they debuted the song in a surprise performance at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The stop on Wallen’s I’m Still The Problem Tour drew more than 80,000 fans and marked concert in the football stadium for more than 30 years.

Following Wallen’s nearly two-hour performance, he has made it a habit of closing out the night with an encore moment featuring Langley. On previous stops of the tour, the Alabama native has joined him for his duet with Tate McRae, “What I Want.” But in Tuscaloosa, the crowd was treated to something extra special.

Wallen announced that the rising female act had written the song and sent it to him “about a month ago.”

“I loved it the second I heard it,” he admitted.

Alongside today’s release, the hitmaker explained that the two of them had been in talks about doing a song together for awhile now and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

“We have been on tour together and I’m a huge fan of what she does. She wrote and sent over this song and from the beginning riff, it was hard to deny. I’m honored she wanted me to be the one to do it with her,” he added in a new statement.

Fans quickly connected the dots that this actually wasn’t the first time the song had been teased. In the recently unveiled music video for her Platinum-certified hit, “Choosin’ Texas,” the final clip finds Ella Langley driving off in a van with Miranda Lambert, leaving her character’s love interest Luke Grimes at a bar. The back of the vehicle had a license plate that read “ICLYA,” which we now know was a subtle Easter egg hinting at the new song.

This release follows hot on the heels of Langley’s brand new album, Dandelion, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Her time on the road with Morgan Wallen isn’t done yet. The “You Look Like You Love Me” singer still has a few more select dates on the I’m Still The Problem Tour.

Additionally, she is set to embark on her first sold-out headlining arena run, The Dandelion Tour, beginning May 7 and running through August 15. Between her rising number of hits, a new album out now and a bigger production scale, this is gearing up to be a can’t miss tour.

Fans can also catch Ella Langley making her Stagecoach debut tonight in Indio, CA.
