"Try" is a song recorded by American singer Pink, which she released as the second single from her sixth album, The Truth About Love (2012). Written and composed by Busbee and Ben West, and produced by Greg Kurstin, it is a pop rock ballad about taking risks with love, no matter what consequences may result.

"Try" received positive reviews from music critics who noted that it is one of the standout tracks on the album and called it a hit. Commercially, the song was a success, reaching number one in Spain and the top-10 in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, while reaching the top-20 in most countries. The Floria Sigismondi-directed video features shots of a paint-covered Pink and her male counterpart expressing their frustrations through contemporary dance.

Pink confirmed she was writing lyrics and composing music for her then untitled sixth album, which she titled The Truth About Love eventually released, in September 2012. An early version of the album's lead single, a song called "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," was leaked online on July 1, 2012, resulting in the single being released a week earlier than planned. Rachel Raczka from The Boston Globe noted that "Try," the second single from The Truth About Love, also leaked in September 2012. The song was originally sung by GoNorthToGoSouth, a band fronted by Ben West and Michael Busbee. Originally they thought about giving the song to Kelly Clarkson then Daughtry, Adam Lambert recorded it but it wasn't the right fit. The song was then eventually pitched to Pink. Pink's version of the song premiered on radio on September 6, 2012. "Try" was amongst one of five lyrics videos that Pink uploaded on September 12, along with album tracks "Slut Like You," "Just Give Me a Reason" featuring Nate Ruess from fun., "How Come You're Not Here," and "Are We All We Are."
