Interesting facts and trivia about Why Try. By Songfacts®.

This pop anthem was penned by hitmakers Benny Blanco (Maroon 5, Rihanna) and Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé and Kelly Clarkson). It finds Ariana bemoaning the fact that her relationship with a guy drives her insane, but she loves the pain and can't live without him.

Ariana said she enjoyed the experience with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder. "I love working with him because he understands what it's like as a vocalist to want the song that day," she said. "He'll literally let me take two takes of something and then he'll have it done by the time I get out of the booth."
