Discover the story of the song > The Use In Trying – Alessia Cara

The song is about a protagonist who is afraid of trying new things alone and has always settled for getting halfway there. Each day feels like a different game she cannot win, but the chorus encourages her to hold her head up and keep trying as she may discover pieces of herself in the process. The post-chorus suggests that trying and exploring may be the very purpose of life, even if it is not always successful in an obvious way.
