Lambert is a cowriter and co-producer on the Hot 100-topping hit.
Miranda Lambert has basically done it all in her 20-plus years of country stardom: chart-topping albums and singles, countless award show wins and unforgettable performances, and plenty of songs that have stood the test of time and then some. But one thing she’s never had — at least as a lead artist — is the thing that Ella Langley scored her very first time working with Lambert as a cowriter and co-producer: a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Choosin’ Texas,” which took Langley to another level of stardom upon its late 2025 release and has only continued growing bigger throughout the first half of 2026, has already topped the Hot 100 for 10 weeks and brought country music to places few would have imagined. “My cowriter, Luke Dick, was in San Francisco at a dumpling house, and the guy making the dumplings was wearing a ‘Choosin’ Texas’ ball cap,” Lambert shares with Billboard about the song’s ubiquity.
