After his The X Factor gig, Jones began touring with Cameron Dallas and Shawn Mendes. He was even featured in Dallas' Netflix show Chasing Cameron, explained Wide Open Country.

He released his first album, Right Now, on January 22. Billboard said the album is a mix of country toe-tappers and more serious songs like "American Dream." The album also features a piece with the rapper T.I., which brings Jones' many musical influences to a head.

Jones wrote "American Dream" on the Fourth of July when he struggled to wear the red, white, and blue colors of the flag. He explicitly talks about systemic racism, with lyrics like "Some people can't breathe for the flag/Had to take a knee for the flag/I really wanna ride for the flag/But I gotta keep an eye on the flag." The song was released in time for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Willie Jones has said that people ask why he doesn't add more country flair to his songs. But for him, his songs are a representation of who he is. A blend of country and rap, and that's the best way to fully be himself.
