Dandelion is the upcoming second studio album by American country music singer Ella Langley. It will be released through Sawgod and Columbia Records on April 10, 2026.[1] It serves as the follow-up to her debut studio album, Hungover (2024). The album was executive produced by Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Ben West.[2]
To support her upcoming record, Langley launched her first arena tour in North America for the summer of 2025.[3] This announcement follows the global success of the lead single, "Choosin' Texas", which became her Billboard Hot 100 number one.[4]
Background
Langley confirmed she was back in the studio in April 2025, with a new album already in the works.[5] Leading up to the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards, she dealt with a harsh case of impostor syndrome.[6] In August 2025, she cancelled many shows to focus on her mental health.[7] Langley would leave the public eye until September, "re-finding" herself.[8][9] Choosing to prioritize quality over a quick follow-up, Langley pushed her second album's release to 2026 to ensure the new material was fully developed.[10] It was described as a concept album.[11] She believes this record represents her true self, describing the creative process as a seamless experience that captures her personality more deeply than ever before.[12] During this wait, she put out the Hardy collaboration "Never Met Anyone Like You", a cover of Toby Keith's "Wish I Didn't Know Now", "This Version of Us" for the soundtrack of Nobody Wants This, and the Miranda Lambert-assisted "Choosin' Texas".[13][14][15][16] The latter became a TikTok sensation and a historic chart-topper, making Langley the first female artist to simultaneously lead the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts.[17][4]
On January 27, 2026, she officially announced her second album, Dandelion, set for an April 10, 2026 release, preceded by the promotional singles "Be Her" and the title track.[1][18][19] Unreleased tracks like "Livin' Life Again" and "I Gotta Quit" were performed during her live sets, confirming they will be part of the upcoming album.[20][21] In the album's trailer, she revealed the concept of the album title "Dandelions are masters of survival, thriving in even the harshest environments. Often dismissed as a common weed, this unassuming plant carries a deeper symbolism of hope, healing and resilience. This next record to me has so much growth in it".[22][23] On February 2, she announced The Dandelion Tour playing arenas across North America.[24][25]
