Goes Without Saying is the lead single off of Bryan Ruby's upcoming 2024 EP 'Found and Lost'. Coming off a selection as finalist for the 2023 John Lennon International Songwriting Prize, Ruby released Goes Without Saying on Valentine's Day (2/14/24), and performed it live for the first time in front of a packed audience at a special release show called 'Bryan Ruby's Broken Hearts Club' at The Lipstick Lounge in Nashville, TN.

“Goes Without Saying is a punch to the gut. It's real, it’s raw, it’s everything I just went through. Pain, loss, and heartache are all I have to give right now.” says Ruby. 

The song has already won praise around the music industry. Says SiriusXM's Tara Gore, "Goes Without Saying" is a real departure from Bryan's past songwriting. It's him getting more comfortable with sharing his emotions and I'm truly proud of him. He's had quite a journey and I think his music is catching up to that, giving you a real look at who he is as a person."

Growin’ On Me

Bryan Ruby’s gritty country-rock single ‘Diggin’ (‘Til The Corn Comes Up)’ is a brand new country slammer fused with 80s arena-rock energy. Built for big amps and boot stompin’, the song combines anthemic and catchy choruses with an energy unmatched on-stage. Telling the story of a down-on-his-luck farmer who refuses to quit, ‘Diggin’ (‘Til The Corn Comes Up)’ breathes fresh air into classic country tropes, sparking new life into a time tested story of grit and perseverance. 

Diggin' ('Til The Corn Comes Up)

With a weathered ball cap as its emotional centerpiece, Bryan Ruby’s new single threads lived-in memories and identity into a stripped-down country anthem. Featuring warm, modern production and Ruby’s signature baritone, “Ball Cap” captures the quiet power of the objects - and stories - we carry from ballfields to backroads. Written by Ryan Brisotti, Dan Leathersich, and Michael Keys, the song elevates everyday nostalgia into something deeply personal and sonically intimate. For audiophiles and music lovers, it’s a heartfelt listen that lingers - perfect for fans of narrative-rich, emotionally raw country storytelling.

"'Ball Cap' is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever recorded. It’s about the places, the people, and the memories that shape us—how something as simple as an old hat can carry a lifetime of stories and meaning. Coming from baseball into country music, I’ve learned that no matter where life takes you, your roots are always with you. Releasing this one as the summer heats up just feels right, and I can’t wait for y’all to hear it." -Bryan Ruby

“The thing about a ball cap is it’s right there, right above your eyes for everyone to see as soon as they look at you. And whether it’s “my buddy gave it to me”, or “I worked at this job for over 10 years” or “me and my dad used to be season ticket holders”, every one tells a story.” -Ryan Brisotti, Cowriter

“A casual hat has become so iconic in our culture. That choice you made to add it to your closet becomes part of your identity.” -Dan Leathersich, Cowriter

"I think of ‘Mood Ring’ as the song you play when you’re ready to let loose and be yourself. It's about those moments when you’re feeling free, wild, and just living in the present. I hope people can vibe with that!" -Bryan Ruby
