Pink shows her softer side in her latest single, “Try.”

The oft cheeky singer takes it down a notch from “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” with inspiring lyrics about love and perseverance in her new song.

“Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame./ Where there is a flame, someone’s bound to get burned./ But just because it burns doesn’t mean you’re gonna die./ You’ve gotta get up and try,” Pink sings.

 

Listen to “Blow Me (One Last Kiss).”

“Try” is the second single released from Pink’s upcoming sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, due Sept. 18. It is the singer’s first album since 2008’s Funhouse, which produced singles in “So What,” “Please Don’t Leave Me” and “Sober.”
