Back in September 1983, Strait released the song “You Look So Good In Love.” Written by Rory Bourke, Kerry Chater, and Glen Ballard, the song surrounded a man who watched his ex fall in love. Although having the chance to win her heart over, the individual soon realized that she was truly in love with her new man. While the individual felt sorry for himself, he found comfort in her eventually finding true love.
As for Langley, she sat in a dark room with nothing but a guitar as she covered the classic song. Gaining nearly 15,000 likes, fans discussed the cover, writing, “I love these old school covers. You should do Feeling Better but while you’re rollin on the tour bus. That seems like the right setting ha.” One fan added, “I just had to say you are such a gorgeous woman without your make up and fixing up as they say just so beautiful With an angel voice.”

Ella Langley Gets Advice From Riley Green
Outside of the studio and covering hit songs, Langley opened up about dealing with nerves before going on stage. Speaking with Taste of Country, she recalled the pep talk she gave herself just before going out, “Don’t fall down’ is usually my No. 1. Recently, I just did fall down for the first time so now I’m extra afraid of it.”
With the video of Langley’s fall making its way online, the country singer received some advice from none other than Green. She recalled the singer telling her, “Riley’s like, ‘Just get up there and do your thing. Get up there and sing it.’”
Although giving some tips to Langley, Green also deals with nerves before taking the stage. But according to the singer, “I feel like I can hide a lot of emotions behind my mustache.”
