Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh oooh

I messed up tonight I lost another fight

I still mess up but I’ll just start again

I keep falling down I keep on hitting the ground

But I always get up now to see what’s next

Birds don’t just fly they fall down and get up

Nobody learns without getting it wrong

I won’t give up no I won’t give in

Till I reach the end and then I’ll start again

No I won’t leave I wanna try everything

I wanna try even though I could fail

Try everything

Look how far you’ve come you filled your heart with love

Baby you’ve done enough take a deep breath

Don’t beat yourself up don’t need to run so fast

Sometimes we come last but we did our best

I’ll keep on making those new mistakes

I’ll keep on making them every day

Those new mistakes

What It Means

Looked at closely, “Try Everything” is about the feeling captured in its very first words: “Oh oh oh oh oooh”. The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “No I won’t leave I wanna try everything” — until the final line “Those new mistakes” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.

Where It Works Best

• Relaxed evening and rainy-day playlists
• Study or focus sessions
• Driving, especially at night
• Any mood that calls for an easy, emotional listen

Summary

“Try Everything” is a well-crafted track that gets its strength from simplicity: a clear melody, a repeating hook, and lyrics that never overreach. It fits Shakira’s style well and works in almost any playlist.
