Ella Langley & HARDY Join Forces on Explosive New Single “Never Met Anyone Like You”
Ella Langley just dropped her latest single, and it’s not quite the love song fans expected. Out Friday (June 27), “Never Met Anyone Like You” — featuring country rocker HARDY — marks the first chapter of new music from the multi-platinum singer-songwriter since her acclaimed 2024 project Hungover and its deluxe edition Still Hungover.
Written by Langley, HARDY, and hitmaker Jordan Schmidt (who also produced the track), “Never Met Anyone Like You” starts as a tender country ballad before exploding into a hard-hitting rock anthem. The song lyrically peels back the layers of a romance gone wrong, leading listeners through what feels like a love confession — until the devastating twist.
“I’ve never met anyone like you / Darling, you’re one in a million,” Langley croons in the chorus, setting the tone for what seems like a heartfelt tribute. But halfway through, the truth unravels. “You said it was us till the end / Then you went and hooked up with my friend,” she belts during the bridge — revealing the heartbreak behind the flattery. What begins sweetly soon turns scathing, reminiscent of HARDY’s the mockingbird & THE CROW era.
The track blends Langley’s soulful vocals with HARDY’s gravel-edged harmonies, building into a cinematic, guitar-driven finale that perfectly captures both artists’ genre-blending styles. It’s a sonic punch that proves why Langley continues to be one of country music’s most compelling new storytellers.
“This is one of my favorite songs I’ve been a part of in a really long time,” HARDY shared. “We were caught off guard by our own creativity. Everybody in the room crushed it that day. I think it’s one of the coolest songs I’ve ever been part of — I’m excited for people to hear it.”
Ahead of the release, Langley teased snippets of the track on social media, making it sound like a romantic ballad. But when the song dropped, she clarified on Instagram: “This isn’t a love song.” Fans quickly learned she’d been setting them up for the twist.
This isn’t the first time Langley and HARDY have teamed up. Earlier this year, Langley joined him on stage during his Grand Ole Opry debut for a surprise performance of “Wait In The Truck.”
The Alabama native is currently extending her sold-out Still Hungover headlining tour, adding seven new dates that sold out within minutes. She’s also on the road with Riley Green’s Damn Country Music Tour and recently opened for Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem stadium run.
With “Never Met Anyone Like You,” Ella Langley once again proves that heartbreak, honesty, and a little rock edge can make for country music magic.
