The Standouts (Heroes Version) featuring Ty Herndon was released over all platforms on June 2, 2023. 

“When Bryan asked me to be a part of this song, I immediately said yes. At a time when there are so many folks trying to divide us, this song demonstrates the values of love and acceptance — and respecting people for exactly who they are. The truth is, everyone can be a standout in their own lives, and I hope this track inspires young and old alike to show up as their true, authentic selves. When that happens, we all win.” — Ty Herndon

“Ty is a true ‘standout’ because he came out before it was cool in country music-showing people that it’s ok to be proud of who you are. It is because of standouts like Ty that the next generation of country artists like me can be honest and sing authentically from the start of our careers. It’s an honor to have him as my duet partner on this song.” -Bryan Ruby
