Ella Langley has unveiled a new track, “Here Then We’re Gone,” penned for the soundtrack of the upcoming film The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. The reflective acoustic country song, written by Langley alongside Aaron Raitiere and Ernest, was produced by Dave Cobb.
“Things don’t always go the way I want them to,” Langley sings, adding, “Like how I wish he was still here to hold me tonight.” She continues, “But I’m moving on, I’m climbing that hill; I can’t slow down time, but could I make time stand still?”
The Sunrise on the Reaping soundtrack, released today, includes Noah Kahan’s previously issued single “Draw You Out.” Spanning 29 tracks, the collection features contributions from Noah Cyrus, Bella Kay, Stevie Nicks, Smashing Pumpkins, Violet Grohl, Gigi Perez, and several other artists.
Sunrise on the Reaping opens in theaters on November 20. As a prequel to the original trilogy, the film chronicles the story of a young Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) competing in the 50th Hunger Games. The cast includes Mckenna Grace, Whitney Peak, Ralph Fiennes, Jesse Plemons, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, and Lili Taylor. The movie is directed by Francis Lawrence, who has overseen the previous four instalments of the series.
Ella Langley’s new soundtrack contribution comes on the heels of a prolific year. In April, she released her second studio album, Dandelion, and subsequently toured across North America. Langley is set to appear at the 2026 CMA Awards on November 18, where she currently holds the lead in award nominations with nine entries, including Entertainer of the Year.
