Wetzel announced that Langley will feature on his new song “Jaded,” marking their second official collaboration.

Wetzel also expressed excitement about recording another song with Langley after several years.

“Ella’s been one of my favorite people to write and sing with for a long time,” he said in a statement.

He added that they had frequently discussed working together again whenever their paths crossed and praised Langley’s emotional delivery.

“When she sings, you believe it,” Wetzel said.

Their comments reflect a creative partnership that has continued to evolve as both artists have become established names in modern country music.
