The Story Behind The Riley Green and Ella Langley Duet, "Don't Mind If I Do"
Riley Green and Ella Langley had a No. 1 single with "You Look Like You Love Me," released by Langley on her freshman Hungover album. The two have another hit at radio with "Don't Mind If I Do," which is in the Top 35.
Green reveals that, while Langley seems perfect for the song, having her on the track is a happy accident.
"I think I got her to come in the day I wrote it," Green tells his record label. "[I] just kind of hummed to see what key I needed to write it in, 'cause I wrote it as a duet. And when I was in the studio recording it, I just called her to come by to put a vocal on it, so I could play it for whoever I was gonna pitch it to, as far as the female. And she just crushed it."
As soon as Langley sang it, Green knew she was perfect for the song.
"I remember sitting there, and she was like in a sweatsuit," Green remembers. "She came by the house and sang it, and it was just, I couldn't imagine anybody doing it better than she did. So, it was cool for her to be on the song. Also having her out with all the success on the other song, and also lyrically, it kind of feels like the song after 'You Look Like You Love Me.' So it's kind of cool to have that accidentally work out."
