Did You Know?

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

Dej Loaf is a rapper-singer from the east side of Detroit named for her high school footwear preference. This DDS produced street track got some heat after Drake quoted its "you should see my closet" line in an instagram post. The song went on to secure her a contract with Columbia Records.

The cut finds Dej Loaf warning that she has some unorthodox culinary skills. She threatens her haters that anyone who tests her will be turned into macaroni and other Italian dishes. They didn't teach us that during our school cookery lessons.

Dej Loaf told Radio.com the song was inspired by a trip to the mall. "I was walking around shopping and I saw people staring at me and recorded the chorus on a voice memo. It was playful," she explained, "like, 'Why do you keep looking at me like you want to kill me?' I didn't want it to promote violence or negativity, but it was something I felt. Music to me is my diary. It lets me express how I feel."
