Discover the story of the song > Try Hard – 5 Seconds Of Summer

The lyrics are about a guy who is trying really hard to impress a girl he likes. He notices that she's different from other people and he wants to get her attention. He tries to dress up and change things about himself to be more like what he thinks she wants. But it's not working and it's making him feel sad and frustrated. He tries to get her to notice him by following her around, but she thinks he's strange. Finally, at a show, he sees that she's in the crowd and it gives him hope. Finally he admits that he's been trying too hard and he just needs to be himself.
