We Try (Chris Medina)

"We Try" is a pop ballad performed by American singer Chris Medina. It was released as a single in 2011 following Medina's departure from the reality television show American Idol. The song is a poignant expression of unwavering commitment within a relationship facing significant hardship. Lyrically, the song emphasizes perseverance and the dedication to overcoming obstacles together, rather than giving up when difficulties arise.

Thematically, "We Try" explores themes of love, commitment, resilience, and the complexities of long-term relationships. The lyrics describe a couple facing challenges that threaten their bond, but they are determined to continue fighting for their love. The song's central message is one of hope and the belief that love is worth striving for, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.

The song's popularity stemmed, in part, from the real-life situation surrounding Medina. Before his American Idol audition, his then-fiancée suffered a traumatic brain injury that required extensive care. This personal experience lent the song a deep emotional resonance with listeners, as it reflected the reality of hardship and unwavering devotion. "We Try" became a popular wedding song and a symbol of enduring love in the face of adversity.
