=== Reckful tribute and music pivot ===
Jones was a close friend of Byron “Reckful” Bernstein. After Bernstein’s death in 2020, Jones released the single “Now That You’re Gone” on 19 April 2021 as a memorial tribute. Days later he announced an extended break from streaming to pursue music and “find meaning,” framing songwriting as outreach to listeners facing mental-health struggles similar to his own publicly discussed anxiety and depression.<ref name="dotequit" /><ref name="dexerto">[https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/mitch-jones-remembers-reckful-tearful-tribute-song-1557179/ Dexerto – Reckful tribute song]</ref>

On 23 July 2021 (his birthday) he issued the debut EP '''''If I Could Go Back''''' and returned to Twitch with a live performance party. A second 2021 EP, '''''Broken''''', and later singles (including collaborations such as “Darkness” with Craig Mabbitt) continued the music catalog alongside intermittent streaming.<ref name="bi" /><ref name="knock">[https://theknockturnal.com/gaming-superstar-mitch-jones-makes-highly-anticipated-debut-with-emotional-ep-if-i-could-go-back/ The Knockturnal – If I Could Go Back]</ref>
