In June 2017, Combs released his major label debut album of the same name ("This One's For You") on Columbia Nashville and River House Artists.

Combs signed a deal with Sony Music Nashville, and the debut single from This One's For You, "Hurricane" was re-released on Columbia Nashville.[4] "Hurricane," reached No. 1 on the Country Radio airplay charts on May 15, 2017 - holding that spot for 2 weeks.[6] The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart[7] and No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums[8] in its first week.
