Early Life in Alabama
Elizabeth Camila Langley grew up in Hope Hull, a small community outside Montgomery, Alabama, in a close, working-class family. She sang in church and school, taught herself guitar, and was writing songs as a teenager. She enrolled at Auburn University to study forestry but left to chase music, moving to Nashville in 2019 with little more than her songs and a willingness to play anywhere that would have her.
The Nashville Grind and Excuse the Mess
Langley spent years playing writers’ rounds, bars and opening slots, building a reputation for powerhouse live vocals. She released independent EPs and a steady run of singles, co-wrote songs for other artists including Elle King, and signed with Sony Music Nashville and Columbia Records. Her major-label debut album, Excuse the Mess (2023), showcased her blend of classic country storytelling, rock edge and confessional writing about love, drinking and small-town life.
You Look Like You Love Me: The Breakthrough
Everything changed in 2024 with ‘You Look Like You Love Me’, a flirtatious talking-verse duet with Riley Green from her album Hungover. The song topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart — her first number one — and won the CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year. Her momentum carried into the 2025 ACM Awards, where she was the night’s most-awarded artist, collecting five trophies including New Female Artist of the Year and Single of the Year.
Still Hungover and Headline Status
The deluxe edition of her second album, Still Hungover (2025), added the single ‘Weren’t for the Wind’, which became another country radio number one and confirmed the breakthrough was no fluke. Extensive touring with Riley Green and her own headline dates established Langley as a major live draw, and her songwriting — she co-writes nearly all of her material — has made her one of the most in-demand writers in Nashville as well as a performer.
‘You Look Like You Love Me’ had an unusual birth: written by Langley with Riley Green and Aaron Raitiere, its spoken-word verses were a deliberate throwback to classic country duets, and the pair road-tested it live before recording. Fans filmed the flirtatious call-and-response on tour, the clips spread on TikTok, and by release week the song already felt like a standard. Langley has also notched credits as a songwriter for other artists, including songs cut by Elle King.
