Background and composition

Following the release of her debut studio album

Olivia Nervo, Miriam Nervo and produced by Soulshock and Hurley.[5] According to the press release, the song showcases Scherzinger's vocals, "by stripping them bare in a slow, melodic beginning which builds to a powerful crescendo as the dance beat drops,"[3] while Amy Sciaretto of PopCrush described its composition saying that it "starts out soft and slow and builds up to a beat-driven breakdown."[6]

Critical reception

The song was generally received positively from music critics.

Pop Justice praised the song, based just on its demo. "We like this. It has a slight whiff of 'bounced around between the A&R inboxes of A-List global songstresses of the world until eventually ending up on a Nicole Scherzinger reissue' about it but there's lots to love. We particularly like the line that sounds like 'why does it feel like a cow?'." The website listed the song as the fourth best song from Scherzinger.[7] Brad Stern of MTV Buzworthy praised the song for its production. "'Try with Me' is a gorgeous combination of pulsating synthesizers and slammin' vocals, and if she times this one right, there's no way Scherzy can't claw her way back to the top overseas."[8] Meena Rupani of DesiHits complimented the "amazing" vocals of Scherzinger.[9]

Chart performance

"Try with Me" made its first chart appearance in Ireland on November 30, 2011, where it debuted and peaked at number 29.[10] In the UK "Try with Me" debuted and peaked at number eighteen selling 21,315 copies.[11] It's the only single from the album, along with Wet, that didn't reach the top-ten. "Try With Me" only spent 3 weeks on the chart, becoming her fastest single to leave the UK charts.[12]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Try with Me" was shot in
