Try me es una canción de Jorja Smith. Lanzamiento y estreno del video oficial -dirigido por Amber Grace Johnson y rodado en los suburbios de Marsella (Francia)- el 14 de abril de 2023. "El bailarín, Andrea Bou Othmane, simboliza un toro, que representa el mundo y sus opiniones fuera de mi control", mencionó Jorja. Un ejercicio que oscila entre la fuerza y la vulnerabilidad y que concluye con un cambio de tono: el descenso tras una pelea, desarmado y gentil, mostrando una derrota victoriosa a través de preciosas imágenes inspiradas en 'El cello humano' (1965) de la artista Charlotte Moorman.
Producida por el dúo DAMEDAME*, es pegadiza y repleta de tambores, cuya inspiración llega -tal y como relata en el single- de "Exponerse frente a un mundo que tiene muchas opiniones, ya que sólo podía ser yo realmente siendo mi propia crítica".
Letra
Ask me about me again
You know it hurts to feel it
You should read between these
Ask me about me again
Even when my heart declines
Nothing works when I don’t
Go head try me
Cus I’m safe behind these walls
Think you can take me through the fog where I’m no challenge
Childish, childish
Yeah you, you can try me
I’ve changed?
There’s only been one thing that I’ve changed
Nothing is ever enough
I don’t have to tell you what I’ve changed
Cus I couldn’t tell you that
I’ve changed
There’s only been one thing that has changed
Nothing is ever enough
I don’t have to tell you what I’ve changed
I couldn’t tell you that
I think too fast at times
I try to keep it out
But it don’t work even though I try to forget that
Even though I try to forget that
I know that it’s hard to ignore it
I know that’s it’s harder to play me
Go head try me
I’ve changed?
There’s only been one thing that I’ve changed
Nothing is ever enough
I don’t have to tell you what I’ve changed
I couldn’t tell you what I’ve changed
Only been one thing that has changed
Nothing is ever enough
I don’t have to tell you what I’ve changed
I couldn’t tell you that
Hoping I’ve learnt
Take back your word
Might hurt but I won’t hide
I know myself
I know I wasn’t
The only one that has been through what I have today
Can you wait for this second?
To please
Somebody else other than your needs
You’ve got a lot left on these sleeves
But your heart’s not on your sleeve
Try to believe me though
I’ve got to listen
Got to learn
Got to live
Got to fight
Got to earn
And your minds made up on me
I say your minds made up on me
Got to live
Got to learn
