Riley Green and Ella Langley have a new single out, together. Green just released "Don't Mind If I Do," which he wrote by himself, and is the title track of his latest album. The song comes after their "You Look Like You Love Me" duet, although Green now reveals he didn't originally intend his new single to be another duet with Langley.

"I think a lot about the song is cool to me," Green says. "I like how it feels like an older country song. It's got that traditional feel to it. But I've never heard a duet where the female just sang the last chorus, and it was from her perspective."
Green goes on to say the song reminds him of "Picture," the Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock duet released in 2002.
"They're going through the same thing," Green says. "Her saying, 'I don't mind if you do' at the end. And originally she just sang the last chorus and then I went back and got her to kind of slowly come into the song with harmonies because I just liked introducing her kind of slowly into the song like that."
Riley Green's Relationship With Ella Langley
Green and Langley have been rumored to be in a relationship since they first started touring together, when Langley joined Green on his Damn Country Music Tour. Green, who was also spotted with Megan Moroney, finds it humorous how invested fans are in his romantic life.
"I find out who I'm dating weekly on social media," Green admits. "That's a pretty big one there. But I think a lot of stuff I see is so outlandish, that it keeps me humble a little bit, and I don't have to worry about it. They'll say anything on there. It's interesting how things like shaving your mustache can become viral now. I never thought that would be a thing."
Even if Green did want to date Langley, he doubts she would reciprocate the feelings.
"Ella's far too smart to date me anyway," Green says on the Viall Files podcast, adding that he knew fans would speculate about their relationship ever since they released "You Look Like You Love Me."
"I was like there's gonna be a lot of things said," he shares. "But we don't really gotta play into it or not play into it. It's gonna be something that people enjoy."
