In a time when country music is hungry for authenticity, Robert Ross serves up a chilled shot of real life with his newest single, “People Like Me,” out May 16. Hot off the heels of his Top 25 AM/FM country hit “Better With Time” still holding its ground on the charts, Ross digs deeper into the heartland with a track that’s equal parts anthem and tribute.
Built on a backbone of driving guitars and blue-collar grit, “People Like Me” delivers a no-nonsense celebration of the everyday American. It's a fist-pumping, glass-raising toast to those who clock in, grind hard, and wind down the old-fashioned way with good company and a cold drink.
“People like you and people like me, we like to drink,” Ross sings in a chorus that’s tailor-made for dive bar jukeboxes and tailgate speakers. But don’t let the barroom bravado fool you there’s a deeper layer here. Ross tips his hat to service members, first responders, and the unsung heroes who quietly keep the country moving. The line “We raise our glasses to the ones that save our ass” hits with the kind of sincerity that doesn’t require dressing up.
“This one’s for the doers,” Ross says. “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.”
That kind of ethos isn’t just in the lyrics it’s in Ross himself. Known for pairing traditional country storytelling with a modern, rough-hewn edge, Ross has built his brand on relatability. “Better With Time” introduced a rising artist with staying power, and “People Like Me” doubles down on that promise with swagger and soul.
From back porches to backroads, this track is bound to echo across the summer soundscape. It's a feel-good tune with a backbone equal parts rally cry and heartfelt thank you. For Ross, it’s less about putting on a show and more about holding up a mirror to the folks who keep it all running.
As the grills fire up and the beer starts flowing, expect “People Like Me” to be on heavy rotation. It’s the kind of song that doesn't just play, it resonates.
