Check Out Colbie Caillat’s Inspiring New Video For ‘Try’ [Video]
"Take your makeup off, Let your hair down, Take a breath, Look into the mirror at yourself, Don't you like you? Cause I like you."
Warning, this video will give you goosebumps.
Tired of being Photoshopped for her album covers, Colbie Caillat told Elle Magazine she didn't do much to prep for this video.
“For the Try video I didn’t prep or starve myself and overexercise, and then I didn’t get my nails done, I didn’t get my hair done. I didn’t get a facial. I didn’t have a stylist.”
Caillat wrote the song after a conversation about the pressure she felt to be someone she wasn't.
“We started checking off all these things that all of us girls do everyday to get ready to go out. When you have blemishes on your skin, gain weight, or my friend has crooked teeth, or my mom’s roots are going gray. And everyone is trying to hide their faults from each other when we all have it.” Colbie told Elle
Check out the lyrics, watch the video and enjoy the song!
Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?
Get your sexy on
Don’t be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don’t have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?
Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you’re all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
Take your make up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don’t you like you?
Cause I like you
