Ella Langley joined Morgan Wallen for the third show of his Still the Problem tour in Tuscaloosa, Alabama Saturday (April 18) night and the pair had big news for fans: they’ve recorded a duet that will drop Friday (April 24).

“Ella wrote this song and sent it me about a month ago and I loved it,” Wallen said from stage. Langley than added that it was coming out on Friday before the two debuted “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”
The two circled each other as they premiered the passionate mid-tempo heartbreaker trading verses before coming together for the chorus.
Music Mayhem Magazine captured a good portion of the song. Hear other snippets here and here.
Though this was the first time fans heard the duet and the news that it was coming out, it looks like Langley may have been teasing it as far back as two weeks ago with the release of the official “Choosin’ Texas” video. Eagle-eyed observers had been trying to figure out what, if anything, Langley was hinting at the end of the video when the white van that Miranda Lambert and Langley escape in features a license plate that reads “ICLYA.” Now we know.
Another hint that the two might be partnering up came last week when Langley joined Wallen at his April 7 show at Nashville’s The Pinnacle to duet on “Sand in My Boots.”
The song is not on Langley’s new album, Dandelion, that dropped April 10, so the question remains is it a stand-alone or will it be on the inevitable deluxe version of Dandelion or on a new Wallen project.
Arguably the two hottest artists in country right now are no strangers to extremely successful co-ed duets. Langley, of course, had a massive hit with “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green, taking home the ACM Award for single of the year last year.
Wallen and Tate McRae took their duet, “What I Want,” (which Langley is singing with Wallen on tour) to No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts.
Langley will join Wallen for several more shows on his stadium tour, including May 9 in Indianapolis, May 16 in Gainesville, Florida; May 30 in Denver, June 6 in Pittsburgh, June 20 in Chicago, June 27 in Clemson, S.C, July 18 in Baltimore, and Aug. 1 in Philadelphia.
