Ella Langley’s hit Choosin’ Texas is doing more than climbing playlists—it’s now helping spread an important lifesaving message.

The song clocks in at 112 beats per minute, which falls within the American Heart Association’s recommended pace of 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute for hands-only CPR. That makes it an ideal song to keep in mind if someone suddenly collapses from cardiac arrest.

To highlight the connection, the American Heart Association partnered with Langley to promote hands-only CPR, and the country star even became CPR-certified herself. The organization has been encouraging fans to remember Choosin’ Texas as a musical guide for maintaining the proper compression rhythm while waiting for emergency responders to arrive.

If you ever witness a teen or adult collapse, the American Heart Association recommends calling 911 immediately, then pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 beats per minute until help arrives. With its 112 BPM tempo, Choosin’ Texas provides a memorable soundtrack that could help people keep the correct pace during those critical moments.
