Did You Know That HARDY Wrote One Of Ella Langley’s Hit Singles?
HARDY recently thrilled fans by sharing his version of an Ella Langley hit…which he co-wrote!
In March, Langley released “Be Her” as the second single from her sophomore studio album, Dandelion. The track followed her smash hit, “Choosin’ Texas,” which has spent multiple weeks at #1 on the Hot Country Songs and all-genre Hot 100 charts.
“Be Her” is right on its heels, ranking at #2 on the former chart and #8 on the latter for the week of April 18th.
