Koe Wetzel’s new single, “Jaded” featuring Ella Langley, is off to a massive start. Released Friday, the collaboration is today’s most added song at Country radio, with 107 stations adding the track which enters the Mediabase Country Airplay chart at No. 40. Meanwhile, its first-day streaming performance marked a new career high for Wetzel, outpacing even his blockbuster 4x-Platinum debut radio single “High Road,” which went on to hold the No. 1 spot for five weeks enroute to becoming the most-played song of 2025. The strong start led “Jaded” to debut at No. 28 on the U.S. Spotify Daily Chart, No. 38 on the Apple Top Songs chart, No. 10 on the Apple Top Songs Country chart and No. 2 on iTunes, cementing immediate momentum for the next chapter of Wetzel’s career.
The news comes just days after Wetzel headlined a sold-out Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Saturday night, bringing The Night Champion World Tour to country music’s home stage. The rowdy celebration showcased the full range of Wetzel’s live show, from the hard-charging rock of catalog staples to the more vulnerable material from his latest album throughout a fast-paced and pyro-heavy 90-minute set. The Tennessean praised the show that “captured the unruly, but magnetic charm Wetzel has built a career around,” declaring, “he remains the mercurial ringleader of a fun, rambunctious circus determined to seize the moment.”
“Playing a sold-out arena is something we’ll never take for granted, especially in Nashville,” says Wetzel. “And to have ‘Jaded’ coming out at the same time and already connecting like this makes the whole weekend pretty damn special. We can’t thank y’all enough for being so supportive, and I couldn’t be prouder to team up again with my friend, Ella Langley, on this one.”
“Jaded,” which builds upon the original release of Wetzel’s sixth studio album, The Night Champion, reunites Wetzel and Langley three years after they first teamed up on the Gold-certified “That’s Why We Fight.” The aching new duet explores the complicated space between new love and the scars left by a toxic past, with the two artists trading lines as they ask the ultimate question: How’d you get so jaded?
Billboard praised the “moody, vulnerable collaboration” produced by Gabe Simon and Jordan Schmidt that showcases “their voices melding mightily on the song’s storyline of being caught between romance and reservations,” while Rolling Stone declared of Wetzel, “His honest songwriting — and lack of fear around making a song sound a little darker or more dangerous than what we’re used to hearing on country radio — is what sets him apart.”
That unique sound will be on display once again as The Night Champion World Tour continues in New York City this Wednesday, August 12. Shane Smith & The Saints, Ole 60, Wyatt Flores, Corey Kent, Wade Bowen, Bayker Blankenship, Kolby Cooper and Logan Jahnke join as support across varying dates.
