NASHVILLE, TN – May 16, 2025 – Following the success of his Top 25 New Music Weekly AM/FM Country hit “Better With Time,” (still charting!) country singer-songwriter Robert Ross is back with a blue-collar anthem tailor-made for summer: “People Like Me,” dropping May 16th on all major streaming platforms.
Rooted in heartland honesty and set to a boot-stomping groove, “People Like Me” is a salute to the salt-of-the-earth folks who work hard, live real, and enjoy unwinding with a drink in hand. Whether you’re clocking in on a job site, behind a desk, behind the wheel, or standing a post overseas, Ross’ new single celebrates the camaraderie, grit, and good times shared by everyday Americans.
“People like you and people like me, we like to drink,” Ross belts out in the instantly catchy chorus, backed by driving guitars and the kind of rough-hewn charm that made country radio famous.
But “People Like Me” isn’t just a party track—it’s a respectful nod to the people who make America run. From the working class to the front lines, Ross honors those who give it their all and don’t pretend to be anything they’re not. With lines like “We raise our glasses to the ones that save our ass,” the song offers a powerful tribute to service members and first responders who sacrifice for the greater good.
“This one’s for the doers,” says Ross. “The people who punch in, get the job done, and crack open a cold one when it’s all said and done. No frills, no BS. Just good people living honest lives. I wanted to write a song that lets them know they’re seen—and appreciated.”
With its singalong chorus, barroom swagger, and heartfelt message, “People Like Me” is destined to become a staple in backyard barbecues, dive bars, and tailgates across the country this summer. It’s Ross at his most authentic: direct, grounded, and full of respect for his audience.
