Ella Langley and Riley Green brought their Alabama charm to country fans across the pond for this year’s Hyde Park show, where they performed their new single, “You Look Like You Love Me.” Headlined by Morgan Wallen, this event sold 50,000 tickets, thus setting the record for the largest country concert ever held in the UK.

Standing in front of the record-breaking crowd, Green showed off his classic style of blue jeans, a button up shirt and a baseball cap and got the crowd warmed up before welcoming Langley to join him on stage. The songstress earned a roar of cheers as she stepped up to the mic beside Green, dressed to the nine in her floor-length black mesh dress with stunning embroidery details throughout. 

The pair of country stars led a sing-along with the massive audience as they swayed along to the tune that has been taking over the internet. Fans instantly fell in love with the song and its whimsical storyline that follows the electric romance that unfolds between two strangers who form a connection at a bar.

Green is seen proudly strumming his guitar while watching Langley eloquently deliver the song’s smooth, spoken-word opening. 

“I was all but twenty two, I think at the time/ I’d been out on the road, lonely at night/ And it’d been a while, so it was on my mind/ Well, I saw him walk in, with his cowboy hat/ And I thought to myself, I could use some of that/ His boots like glass on a sawdust floor/ Had moves like nothing I’d ever seen before/ So I walked right up, and I pulled him to the side/ I handed that man a beer and looked him in the eyes/ And I said, ‘Baby, I think you’re gonna wanna hear this.’”

Her twangy vocals featuring a sultry tone were then heightened as she sang the chorus and shares what she said to this man at the bar. 

“Excuse me, you look like you love me/ You look like you want me to want you to come on home/ Baby, I don’t blame you/ For looking me up and down across this room/ I’m drunk and I’m ready to leave/ And you look like you love me.”

The “Different ‘Round Here” singer joins in with his own charm and proceeds to express how he feels about the woman’s bold actions. 

“Well I was down at the local beer joint/ With a few of the guys/ When this cute little country girl caught my eye/ And boy let me tell you, she was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen in a pair of boots/ Well she walked right up to me/ Handed me a beer/ Gave me a look like, ‘let’s get out of here’/ That’s when I realized that she was every cowboy’s dream come true,” Green says.

Listeners are served a true dose of nostalgia and swoon-worthy vocals between the artists as they illustrate the type of old-school country love story that so many cowboys and cowgirls dream about. So far, Green and Langley have gotten the chance to perform their collaboration in several milestone venues. 

They first debuted “You Look Like You Love Me” on the final night of Green’s headlining Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, and then got to take it all the way to London in front of a record-breaking crowd,” which she said was “absolutely insane!!!” It’s safe to say these performances will be hard to beat.
