His first release for Bigger Picture, "Better I Don't", entered the charts in February 2013. Alanna Conaway of [[American Songwriter]] said that the song "is a well-written, clever ditty that could have you singing along well before the chorus rolls around. The lyrics detail a handful of real-life experiences where he felt being truthful about the situation was probably not a good idea."<ref>http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/01/track-review-chris-janson-better-i-dont/</ref> Janson wrote the song with his wife, Kelly, and [[Pat Bunch]].<ref>http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-615/1558429/615-spotlight-chris-jansons-better-i-dont-follows-tim-mcgraw</ref> "Better I Don't" peaked at number 40 on [[Country Airplay]] in mid 2013.
