Dickerson also joined Billy Currington on the road in 2016.[5]
In 2015, he released the single "Yours" written by Dickerson, Parker Welling, and Casey Brown.[5] It became the title track to his second extended play, released on January 18, 2016, by Dent Records.[6] The EP debuted at number 14 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart,[7] selling 2,700 copies in its first week of release.[8] It launched at number 2 in the iTunes Country Store and number 8 in all genres.[9] On October 10, 2016, he signed with Triple Tigers Records which assumed distribution of the single.[10]
