Background [edit]

Later on releasing her first Christmas anthology, Christmas in the Sand (2012), and contributing to the soundtrack of the 2013 film Prophylactic Oasis, with the song "Nosotros Both Know", a duet with Gavin DeGraw, Caillat recorded during the summertime of 2013 a new album with a "'70s vibe" with producer John Shanks. It was ready to be released in November 2013; even so, later on coming together up with Ryan Tedder, Caillat decided to record a more "pop, up-tempo dancey" album.[3] Caillat too worked with record producer and songwriter Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds on the album, explaining, "Nosotros did four or v songs. I love him as a producer and author. I just tell him any style that I'thousand in the mood for and nosotros write it. It's not similar he's pigeonholed in being an R&B producer. The first song we wrote together is a consummate folk song that'south going to exist on this tape. It has a banjo on it! The next vocal is R&B-pop, and and then the adjacent one we did is completely a piano ballad, no harmonies — it'southward really honest and vulnerable."[iii]

The synthpop-infused rails "Hold On", produced by Tedder, was released as the album's lead single. However, the song failed to brand an bear upon on the charts, and the album was postponed. Caillat and her label idea they should continue working and meet if they got anything better. The response disappointed the singer, who was told to return to the studio to notice a "new sound" for the album. "To be told that your work isn't good enough -- to practice better, to exist more similar those pop artists out there that dress sexy and use Auto-tune on their voices -- to be compared to someone and so different, it injure," she claimed.[4] Afterwards, Caillat decided to release an EP, challenge that "12 songs is likewise much to listen to all at once. When I buy a record, I get to the fifth song, and so I don't get to really hear the rest of the tape. People can listen to the first five songs, fall in honey with them, get to know them, and then a few months afterwards, accept the rest of the record bachelor for download."[4] To promote the EP, "Gypsy Centre: Side A", "Try" was chosen to be its lead-single,[4] beingness the iTunes Store unmarried of the week from June 9 to June xvi, 2014, and it would be officially released to Mainstream radio stations in early on September.[v] On Oct 21, 2014, the song was serviced to contemporary hit radio by Republic Records; a new "Uptempo Mix" will officially impact the format on Jan 13, 2015.[vi] [7] This version was released to digital retailers on November 24, 2014 under the official name "Alex Ghenea Remix".[8]

Caillat's song range span from the low-note of A ♭ three to the high-note of F5.[10] As noted by Holly Williams of Contact Music, the song is "full of gently plucked acoustic guitar, twinkling synths and minimal piano that adds a pleasantly uplifting touch, while Colbie's vocals are soft, nevertheless understated - almost equally if she'south inviting you to sing along with her."[11] According to Billboard, "the song resulted from a 'venting experience' for Caillat, who translated her disappointment about her scrapped album into a bulletin of self-love aimed at women."[iv] "Put your makeup on/ Go your nails done/ Curl your hair/ Run the extra mile/ Keep information technology slim so they like you, do they like you?" she sings in the starting time.[12] "Y'all don't take to try and so hard/ You lot don't have to give it all away/ You just have to become up, get up, get up, get upwards/ You don't have to alter a single thing," she sings in the chorus.[12]

In an interview for Elle, Caillat confessed that the idea for the song came after going into the recording studio with "Babyface", explaining that she told him that she was getting a lot of pressure level to be someone she was not, both musically and prototype-wise. She claimed, "Although I don't want to do it, I'm just going to make these people happy. He started laughing, and said, we're not going to practice that. That's non you, and that's ridiculous of them to ask. That right there gave me the creative liberty." He said, "Permit's write about exactly what they're asking you to exercise — to change yourself." We started checking off all these things that all of us girls do everyday to get set to go out. [...] And so Babyface inspired me to write this and it'due south all from a personal experience."[13] Caillat explained that, "This vocal is non to say that we should never wear makeup, but to say that, sometimes, information technology'due south okay non to."[4] She further told People that, "[Edmonds and songwriters told me] you don't take to endeavour to exist someone else, because people like who you are."[14]

Caillat commented for Elle Magazine that,

When I did the lyric video for 'Try,' and I asked some of my celebrity friends if they would transport a motion picture of themselves, you have no idea how difficult information technology was. Some of them said no, some of them said they'll send me a picture in a couple of days because they have a pimple on their mentum, and they didn't want information technology showing in the motion-picture show. And I was similar, no, no, no! That's practiced! Allow's let all of our fans know that we get them likewise, because otherwise they're but think that they're the but ones who get acne. We all get it, so let's just kind of express mirth about information technology together. Then some of the girls yet wore makeup in the pictures because they felt similar they needed to at least look – I don't know, in their eyes, decent or something when they still look beautiful. Information technology was so hard for them to show any caste of realness.[13]

Official video [edit]

The official music video premiered on July 8, 2014 on VEVO. According to Caillat,

We shot the video in reverse, we started bare, and by the end nosotros finished with the full hair and makeup, and so reversed the picture for the finished product. All of the women were amazing. My favorite was the woman who has no hair. I first saw her completely bald, no makeup, with a huge smile, she was merely and so happy and confident. She was so beautiful to me. And and so nosotros kept getting more hair and makeup on, and the adjacent scene I saw where she's in full make-upward and wig, I was like, Who is this woman? She was not the aforementioned person. She even so looked beautiful but it wasn't the aforementioned dazzler that I saw when she was liberated, showing who she really was. When I shot the kickoff scene with no pilus and makeup on in front of an HD camera in my face, flashed with bright lights, everyone was watching. I thought, "Oh my god, I bet they're all looking at my blemishes, thinking that I should cover them up, or that I should put some volume in my pilus." But it also felt really cool to be on photographic camera with goose egg on, like literally nothing on. And then when it got to the full pilus and makeup, I actually felt gross. I was simply then caked on.[13]

Storyline and reception [edit]

Equally explained by Zakiya Jamal of People, "information technology begins past showing women from all different ages and backgrounds, including Caillat herself, wearing makeup, wigs, and imitation eyelashes. As the video progresses the women remove their makeup, have off their wigs or shake out their hair, and let their natural beauty smoothen."[14] Equally noted past Emilee Lindner of MTV News, at the end, "Caillat is looking smiley and seriously at the camera, singing the last lines, 'Don't you similar you? 'Cause I like you.'"[12]During its commencement week, the video went viral,[24] accumulating over nine million views, surpassing the 20-million mark on YouTube/VEVO as of August xix, 2014.[5] Robbie Daw of Idolator praised Colbie and the other women in the prune for "giv[ing] united states one of the most quietly powerful visuals of the year then far."[25] Bruna Nessif of East! Online claimed that the video "embraces natural beauty and embodies a massive amount of girl power in but four minutes."[26] Lauren Valenti of Marie Claire wrote that "Caillat's bold experiment is a reminder that emancipating yourself from your beauty routine every one time and a while [sic] tin can set you gratis — yes, even in a earth filled with unrealistic dazzler ideals."[27]
