The duet partners released “You Look Like You Love Me” in June 2024. It became Ella’s first and Riley’s second number-one hit on the Country Airplay chart. As the song skyrocketed in popularity, the singers released the wild-west themed music video in August.
Wales Toney, John Park, and Ella Langley directed the video. It features cameos by country icon Jamey Johnson and Riley’s corgi, Carl.
“You Look Like You Love Me” is up for three more ACM Awards, including Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Musical Event of the Year.
