Making of Try This
P!nk met Tim Armstrong through a mutual friend at a
Transplants video shoot. The two hit it off and P!nk ended up co-writing 10 songs with him in a week when Rancid was on a tour with the
Foo Fighters. Eight of these tracks appeared on
Try This with Armstrong also producing much of the album.

Linda Perry who cowrote much of

electroclash artist
Peaches on "Oh My God".
