"Jaded" is a song by American country music singers Koe Wetzel and Ella Langley. It was released on August 7, 2026 through YellaBush Records and Columbia Records. The song was written by both artists alongside Jordan Schmidt and Ernest Keith Smith.
Background "Jaded" is the second collaboration between the singers, following "That's Why We Fight" (2022). Wetzel praised Langley's vocal delivery, commenting that it draws listeners into the song before the lyrics have an emotional impact.
Composition The song features Wetzel's signature country rock style, while incorporating a 1970s disco-tinged sound. Over a strong backbeat and distant electric guitar, the singers portray a couple in an uneasy relationship, struggling with trust issues shaped by difficult experiences with former partners. They ask each other about the events that left them cynical.
