When it came to re-recording the beloved song, Jones explained that she approached it by adding elements of her style into the piece.
"I'm an R&B singer, and I think for me, it's so important to have harmonies, a really catchy rhythm, and kind of take this classic theme and make it, you know, more melodic and more sultry and more soulful."
The rendition of "Almost There" was released as a part of the Disney Princess "Create Your World" campaign, which works to "inspire girls today and give them the opportunity and tools to use their imaginations, try new things, and believe in themselves with the fun and magic that Disney Princesses bring to every part of life."
Jones said "princesses have always been such an inspiration to me and my little sister as we grew up, and I love the representation that Tiana has on the world and on young Black girls and it's really exciting for me to be a part of continuing to make these classic, beautiful songs with beautiful messaging more modern and see what new generation they inspire."
