On May 30, 2025, Canton Jones gifted the world with ‘YOU KNOW I DO (LOVER’S Version)’, a single released under Cajo Records that feels like a warm embrace set to music. This isn’t just another track—it’s a chapter in a story that began decades ago in Deerfield Beach, Florida, where a five-year-old Jones first sang in a family quartet. From those humble roots, his voice has grown into a force, weaving faith and rhythm into a tapestry that’s touched millions—over 24 million Spotify streams, 35 million YouTube views, and a trail marked by three Stellar Award nominations and a Trailblazer in Media & Entertainment Award.

Jones’ journey is one of quiet persistence and divine timing. By 16, he was crafting beats for local artists, laying the groundwork for a career that would see him share stages with giants like Oprah Winfrey and Ray Charles, and collaborate with gospel luminaries such as Moses Bliss and Maverick City Music. Now calling Atlanta home, he’s not just a Grammy-nominated artist—singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer—but a pastor and entrepreneur whose partnerships with McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, and Walmart reflect a heart committed to community and purpose.

At the core of ‘YOU KNOW I DO (LOVER’S Version)’ is a melody that lingers, a love letter wrapped in gospel’s soulful embrace and R&B’s tender touch. The song pulses with a steady rhythm, its modern production layered with atmospheric instrumentals and gospel-style call-and-response vocals that lift the spirit. Jones’ deep, resonant baritone anchors it all, delivering a message of love’s unshakable strength—a sound that echoes the influences of Fred Hammond, Marvin Gaye, and Dr. Dre. There’s a theatrical spark here, a danceable energy that invites you to move, yet it’s the intimacy of the track that stays with you, calling to mind the soul-stirring vibes of artists like Teddy Swims.

Jones himself sums it up best: “The inspiration behind this track is to show everyone that it’s ok to love again… it’s the season of love.” In a world that often feels disconnected, he’s offering something rare—a reminder that love endures, a melody that feels like coming home. ‘YOU KNOW I DO (LOVER’S Version)’ isn’t just a song; it’s a soundtrack for anyone ready to rediscover the beauty of opening their heart again.
