Colbie Caillat Talks Society's Expectations on Women

Colbie Caillat interviewed with ELLE and talked about her new single "Try" and the statement she makes with it. 

I found it inspiring and extremely relatable. No matter how young, old, rich or poor you are these pressures still exist. We as women must support one another in recognizing that beauty is universal. "They" don't need to like you, you need to like you.

Colbie Caillat-Try

Lyrics:

Put your make-up on

Get your nails done

Curl your hair

Run the extra mile

Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on

Don't be shy, girl

Take it off

This is what you want, to belong, so they like you

Do you like you?

Chorus:

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to, give it all away

You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up

You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try

You don't have to try, try, try, try

You don't have to try, try, try, try

You don't have to try

Yooou don't have to try

Oooh

Oooh

Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards

You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you

Do they like you?

Wait a second,

Why, should you care, what they think of you

When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?

Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to, give it all away

You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up

You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard

You don't have to bend until you break

You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up

You don't have to change a single thing

(chorus) 

Take your make-up off

Let your hair down

Take a breath

Look into the mirror, at yourself

Don't you like you?

Cause I like you
