Riley Green\u00a0is sharing the story behind \u201cDon\u2019t Mind If I Do,\u201d his second duet with his friend and tourmate,\u00a0Ella Langley.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Green admits that he had been a fan of Langley \u201cfor a long time,\u201d even before they shared the stage together on tour. He says instantly became a fan after meeting her through a mutual friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard her voice and her twang and how country she sounded, and also that she loved what I would call traditional country music,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

Green later invited Langley to join him on tour and in the midst of it, they recorded their chart-topping, platinum-selling, CMA Award-winning smash, \u201cYou Look Like You Love Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On that same tour, Green wrote \u201cDon\u2019t Mind If I Do\u201d and asked Langley to step in to help him figure out what key to write it in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I got her to come in the day I wrote it and just kind of hum to see if it was something,\u201d the Alabama native revealed.<\/p>\n

When it was time to lay down vocals in the studio, Langley stepped in once more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen 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 going to pitch it to as far as the female and she just crushed it. I remember sitting there and she was like in a sweatsuit. She came by from the house and sang it and it was just\u2026I couldn\u2019t imagine anybody doing it better than she did,\u201d Green marveled.<\/p>\n

Recognizing that Langley\u2019s voice was the perfect match for the song, Green decided to keep the track unchanged and released it as the title song of his\u00a0latest album. Now, looking back, he feels like the stars aligned for it all to happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was cool for her to be on the song,\u201d he said. \u201cAlso, having her out with all the success on the other song\u2026so it\u2019s kind of cool to have that accidentally work out.\u201d<\/p>\n
