It's like a really mid (as the kids say) country song that was #1 on the music charts for 23 weeks.

Its a really enjoyable song that clearly appeals to more than just the country audience, despite having a pretty traditional country sound, which I feel like is unique. Recently in a bar full of mostly 20 somethings, and when that came on it became a giant singalong.
Ella Langley is pretty cool and well liked in the industry which has helped get her some visibility. Done plenty of songs with other people, including a rapper
Also, that doesnt mean 23 weeks at #1. Just thats how long its been on the charts.

I think it had a very cozy, smoky bar feel....I like it

Is this the end of the rap country thing, or is this just a blip?
I actually like many of her songs. But that one is average.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
It is like if Neon Moon had a daughter song. Something that just hits the ear, sounds pleasant, and makes you want to dance
Remember Gen Z grew up with Gen X parents listening to the 80's and 90's country that they heard as a teen/kid.

Interesting
In in head, Gen Z kids had Millenial parents but I guess the math actually kinda splits it

Song is good. But she nails it. Anyone else doing it and it's not the same.
This is a really weird gripe. A country song that actually sounds like a country song without any ******bag lyrics about pasture parties or solo cups, or overly produced crap that's identical to every last country radio topper of the last twenty years.
Same night the single released, I think a TexAgs poster was there
A day or two later, the crowd is singing it

It's Jews and taxes I can tell.
Guy picks a hot Texas woman over some low-rent alternative. Greatest story of all time.
We should be jumping for joy for a majorly successful 90s country throwback when the pop country music scene has been absolutely terrible for several years.
It feels like it could have been released in '91. And that's a good thing.

It's a great catchy song, don't know what there is to get or not get about it. OP what is it about the song you don't like?
I really just want to see the girl in the song that made the guy leave Ella Langley, who is a smoke show.

I did see that she apparently used the Aggie Wranglers in the music video.

Sorry about your taste. "Choosin' Texas" is an absolute banger and anyone who believes otherwise is wrong.
My daughter (13) is slowly introducing me to new Nashville music and some of it actually doesn't suck. I wish I had written this song. It's such an obvious hit. I'm pretty sure every Texas lady I know can sing it by heart now, and apparently the rest of the country loves it as well.
OP should be much more concerned that this thing is #1 with 91 million views in 2 weeks. These guys make One Direction look like the Beatles.
The beauty of this song is that it's something that you can actually dance too. I'll take that over anything Lainey Wilson puts out eight days a week.
Username checks out.
Of all the female country artists my wife and daughter listen to, this song is the best one.
23 weeks at #1 would be the all time record. It's an enjoyable song but it ain't an all timer.
Ella Langley and Zach Top are giving country music a much needed renaissance. I hope it continues. Steel guitars and fiddles still get people moving and singing.
It doesn't hurt that's she's, you know, attractive
I agree with the OP that the song is a bit on the mid side. Its success is more an indicator of the current state of country music than the song's quality.
Zach Top is awesome
What makes a country song "mid" or "great"? That's a moving goalpost.
Most people don't consider anything "new" to be great. That happens with time. Even when the "great" country songs of the 70's, 80's, and 90's first came out, they weren't instantly iconic - but many were instantly catchy.
What I like about this one is the authenticity. It doesn't have to be the deepest song in the world, but it doesn't sound like a pop/hip-hop beat with fake twang talking so it certainly stands out among the mass produced stuff of today. Ella Langley also has a very authentic voice with a more grounded sound.
It was nice to see the detail they put into the music video to make it feel very authentically 'Texas' with the dance hall, Aggie Wranglers, and Texas-born artists that made cameo appearances. They didn't "Austin" it up with designer cowboy stuff or make it look like a trendy Nashville bar. Choosing Luke Grimes and featuring real riders instead of a bunch of smooth looking models also makes it go a long way. A+ effort IMO.

I recognize her from those lame credit card commercials. She comes off as fake. More grist for the mill

It doesn't always go like that.
It is a wonderful song.

They did with that Tecovas ad at the end, but it's a good video and song for sure.

Yes, exactly my point. My tastes in country music are more old school from the 90s. I love songs like Seminole Wind, Straight Tequila Night, Dust on the Bottle, and Indian Outlaw.
