Dandelion Album Gets Surprise Finale Track
Interestingly, ‘I Can’t Love You Anymore’ wasn’t originally included on Langley’s Dandelion album, which launched on April 10, 2026. The song shares the same dreamy late 70s and early 80s aesthetic that defines the album, with comparisons to Fleetwood Mac for its nostalgic, synth-driven production. The track features steel guitarist Spencer Cullum and guitarist Charlie Worsham, both of whom also worked on the Dandelion sessions. Co-writers and producers include Austin Goodloe and Alex Maxwell, alongside Langley herself. Streaming services have officially added it as the closing track on Dandelion.
The decision to delay the song’s release likely allowed Langley’s flagship singles to dominate charts uninterrupted. ‘Choosin’ Texas’ remained the hottest single in all of music, while ‘Be Her’ sat firmly at number 4, making Langley the first female country artist ever to hold two simultaneous top 5 hits across all genres.
