Cody Johnson Released A New Song On March 2
Cody Johnson’s new song is making waves with fans online who believe that it is a response to the Ella Langley song, “Choosin’ Texas.”
In a surprise move, Cody Johnson released a brand-new song on Monday, March 2nd. This is extra surprising because usually, new music is released on Fridays. There was also no promotion for the song.
“We had so much fun cuttin’ this one in the studio I couldn’t keep it to myself. Had to let y’all have it,” he captioned his Instagram post announcing the news.
The “Dirt Cheap” singer revealed that the song was titled “Blame Texas.”

Fans Called “Blame Texas” A Response To Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas”
On the post announcing Cody Johnson’s new song on social media, fans were freaking out over the unexpected release.
“Oh Cojo what a song for Monday! Let’s Go! 🔥,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “A COJO BANGER, ITS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY.”
One of the top comments was from a fan who wrote, “This sounds like the Man perspective of ‘Choosin’ Texas’ and I love it!!”
And many people agree!
So many people have chimed in that it got to Johnson himself who addressed it on Thursday (March 5).
“Heard someone say this is the guy’s response to ‘Choosin’ Texas’,” he wrote on the video.
The caption read, “Let’s hear it… what do y’all think?”
“Yes yes yes!!” replied a fan, while another wrote, “That was the first thought when I was listening to it.”
“Choosin’ Texas” vs. “Blame Texas” Lyrics
In the chorus of “Choosin’ Texas,” Langley sings:
“She’s from Texas, I can tell by the way
He’s two steppin’ ’round the room
And judgin’ by the smile that’s written on his face
There’s nothin’ I can do
It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see
A cowboy always finds a way to leave
Drinkin’ Jack all by myself
He’s choosin’ Texas, I can tell.”
Johnson’s lyrics to “Blame Texas” include:
“But if you wonder why she packed all her things
Left me back here alone in the Lone Star State,
Yeah, I messed up a good thing again.
Guess I just can’t help it.
She loved the wide open skies.
No, she didn’t want to leave.
Did her wrong, now she’s gone,
And it’s all on me.
Comin’ back, no she ain’t.
Wish I could, but I can’t blame Texas.”
What do you think? Is “Blame Texas” a response to “Choosin’ Texas”?
