Jones’ "angelic charisma” (Billboard) takes center stage on the "summer-ready country-trap heater” (CMT), which was named a Hot Summer Song of 2021 by Taste of Country. The track follows his ‘Right Now’ debut album and breakout “American Dream” single. It’s his first new music since signing with Sony Music Nashville in partnership with The Penthouse. Jones will release new music later this year. In the meantime, visit williejonesmusic.com.
