Try This is the title of musical artist P!nk's third album, which was released on November 11, 2003. The album features 13 tracks, eight of which were co-written with Tim Armstrong of punk band Rancid. Singles from the album include the tracks "Trouble" and "God is a DJ".

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. Try This also features three songs written with Linda Perry who cowrote much of Missundaztood P!nk's hit second album. The album also features a collaboration with electroclash artist Peaches on "Oh My God".

Chart success


As of May 2 2004, Try This had reached the top ten of album charts in the US, UK, Canada and Australia with the album reaching number 2 in the UK. There were three singles (four in some countries) released from the album including:

  • "God Is a DJ" - reached top 20 in the UK (just missing the top 10 - it made #11) and China and the top 20 in Ireland and the world dance/trance chart (based on US, UK, German, Australian, Japanese and Italian dance charts);

  • "Feel Good Time" - taken from the soundtrack to Full Throttle. This single was not included on all editions of the album but in some countries, such as the UK, this was included and considered to be the first single from Try This.
