It has been a whirlwind for John Foster after “American Idol.” The young singer has already performed at the Grand Ole Opry five times. He even just bought a new tour bus. October 24, marks his biggest step yet. He just released his very first original song, “Little Goes A Long Way.”
This is not a slow, sad ballad. John called it a “honky tonk tune,” and he is right. It is an upbeat song that sounds perfect for the weekend. The song, written by Bart Butler, Corey Crowder, and Deric Ruttan, is all about the simple things. It is about how just a little bit of fun goes a long, long way.

People have been waiting for this moment. John even shared photos of himself in the studio making the song. He was wearing a Keith Whitley T-shirt, showing his love for classic country music. He makes the song his own, with a voice that feels both fresh and familiar. It is the exact song fans were hoping for.
Releasing a new song is a huge celebration. But what makes it even more special? Playing it for a live crowd on the exact same day. As “Little Goes A Long Way” hit the airwaves, John was getting ready for a massive homecoming. He was heading back to his home state of Louisiana for a very special night.
