"Don't Mind If I Do" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Riley Green. First released on September 6, 2024, as a promotional single from his third studio album of the same name (2025), it was released as the album's second single to country radio on July 21, 2025.[1] It features American country music singer Ella Langley and was produced by Dann Huff.
The song was first teased by Riley Green in mid-June 2024, via a video of him playing an acoustic version of the song. He had written the song as a duet. While Green was touring with Ella Langley in the United States, he asked her to sing the portion intended for the other vocalist. Initially, Green was only planning to use Langley's recording as a reference track, but decided to keep her on the song as he believed she sung it better than anyone else could have.[2] It marked the second collaboration between the artists following "You Look Like You Love Me" from Langley's debut album, Hungover.
Composition
The song contains acoustic guitar, and introduces a gentle drum pattern and faint steel guitar as it progresses.[3] The lyrics depict Riley Green drinking whiskey to forget about his ex-girlfriend while wishing to rekindle the relationship. He secretly wants to stop by her house to request it and hopes she does not mind that he still has feelings for her.[3][4] In the second verse, Ella Langley sings backing vocals, indicating that she also misses him, and Green details that his attempts to let go have nearly succeeded, but he always succumbs to his temptations to start drinking again.[3] The more he drinks, the stronger his desire to reconcile with her.[4] Langley takes the lead in the final chorus as she sings from his ex's perspective, in which she wants him to tell her how he truly feels and does not mind if he does the things he craves.[3]
Live performances
Riley Green and Ella Langley performed the song on The Voice during the season 26 finale on December 10, 2024.[5]
