Try
You Don’t Know How Hard I Try
Try is about the things we pursue when nobody really sees the effort behind them.
“You don’t know how hard, hard I try. You don’t know how far I’ll try.”
That’s all I wanted to say—and maybe it means something different to everyone who hears it. It could be about chasing someone, chasing a dream, pushing through doubt, or simply discovering how far you’re willing to go when something matters to you.
Driven by a melodic dance groove and a hypnotic vocal chant, Try leaves the meaning open. The repetition becomes part of the message: sometimes you don't need to explain how hard you're trying. You just have to keep moving.
