Ella Langley and Riley Green conquer the saloon bar in the video “You Love Me”

Ella Langley and Riley Green conquer the saloon bar in the video “You Love Me”

Excuse me, you look like… Jamey Johnson?

The action-packed, cinematic music video for “You Look Like You Love Me” by Ella Langley and Riley Green features plenty of drama, period costumes, and yes, even a cameo from the “In Color” singer.

The song has always been about role-playing—Langley and Green trade verses that tell the story of two strangers crossing paths at a bar—so it only makes sense that the two singers let their imaginations run wild in the music video.

Set in an old-fashioned western saloon, the video follows Langley – a seductive artist – and Green – a cowboy cooling off after a long day at work – as they come together to dance.

Just when it looks like everything is heading for a happy ending, the local sheriff (Jamey Johnson) bursts in holding a wanted poster with Green’s face on it. It turns out that this is no ordinary cowboy: Green is an outlaw on the run.

Another twist comes when Green himself pulls out a gun, followed by a number of other bar patrons who also point their guns directly at Johnson. They quickly agree to a truce, and Johnson even befriends the outlaws, joining in for a dance with Langley.

Langley — who co-wrote and co-directed the video for “You Look Like You Love Me” — has the song on her recently released hangover Album. It is the first single from the album and a country radio top 10 hit.
