Colbie Caillat - Try (Official Video) 

“Nobody is ugly, we just live in a very judgmental society” -Kim Namjoon BTS

One month ago on the 12 of November I was done trying to be pretty, it was so hard and I still got bullied. I had the pills in my hand. I wanted to listen to a song right before I took my life. I went on RU-vid and this song popped up. I clicked on it and while I was writing my suicide note I really listened to the song. I crumpled up the note. I threw away the pills. This song saved a life. Thank you. I listen to this song every day to help me stay confident and to keep the bullying away. (:

I think this song is such an important message to young girls nowadays.

Who's still watching this beautiful masterpiece in 2024

My mom used to play this song for me when I was younger to show me that i don't need to change myself for the appeal of others Edit: quit trauma dumping, there’s a difference between sharing experiences and sharing for the pity of others

I think it's sad that so many people are missing the point. The message isn't that you shouldn't try at all in life. It's that you shouldn't try to be someone you're not, or feel the need to cover up and add fake things in order to feel like you're beautiful. If you ask a lot of women, they're going to tell you that they don't feel pretty without makeup, or hair extensions, or fancy clothing, or fake nails, or a plethora of other things that society deems necessary for a woman to be considered attractive. THAT is what this video is addressing. It's not saying "Don't exercise!", "Don't work hard in life!", or "Don't try to be the best person you can be!" It's saying "Love the skin you're in without needing all of the additives to make yourself feel pretty! You're beautiful as you are, and the only approval you should need to feel attractive, is your own!" The point is that women should love themselves naturally, and feel comfortable not having to put on a different face in order for the world to accept them.

I cry every time I listen to this song. I'm a man, 61 years old, and this speaks to my child within , my little Kevin who never felt good enough. I'm so grateful for this song. I just watched the video for the first time and it hit me even harder. Bravo.

I don't understand some of these awful comments. Music like this actually helps people.

I love how her as a celebrity did this. Not just make the other girls in the video. She put herself out there showing she really cares. She was willing to make her self vulnerable to MAKE A POINT

The most beautiful thing in a girl is her heart and her beautiful eyes.

This made me tear up. I sent it to my daughter in law. She never thinks she isn't enough but I always tell her what an amazing woman and mom she is. Thank you for this song.

I was bullied because of having dark skin, i moved to canada. i lived in Philippines. People we’re judging me for the way i look. but this song inspires me to try to get up and dont let the people stop me from being who i am 😊

I don’t care if I’m a guy, but for someone who lost weight, worked out, and changed my image for someone, this song really hits me. I cried when I heard this song because it reminded me of my past self. I wanted to tell myself that I should be doing these things for myself, and that looks are not everything. Everyone who is going through self-image and self-worth issues really need to listen to this song

It's 2022 and still relevant . This song helps me so much to cope with social anxiety . I mean, look at us nowadays . Too much pressure from society and peers. To be 'perfect' or just like the material person they wanted. This song makes me burst out into tears and make me realize, " do i even like myself? "

I heard this song for the first time tonight and it brought me to tears. I'm a father of a 12 year old boy that is going through a lot of "body" issues, for lack of a better word. This video/song is such an incredibly powerful voice to explain something I've been trying to convey for years.

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 Love this part❤️❤️❤️

The last part "Do you like you? Cuz I like you. " Got me. I may only be in middle school but people can be really mean. I have self confidence issues and this song helps so thank you for that

me, listening to this song in 2014: *BAWLING MY EYES OUT* 😭😭😭 me, listening to this song in 2021: *STILL BAWLING MY EYES OUT* 😭😭😭

Anyone 2024 may?

One of the most underrated song :(

I almost forgot that this beautiful music exist in this world

It’s 2023 and it still feels that it’s new whenever I listen to this ❤ Lyrics that explains everything 👍

9 years later and this message is still needing to be heard. It's getting worse still. Please if you're reading this, remember: you ARE enough for the ones who truly matter. Love yourself and give yourself grace.

I'm here. I'm crying. I'm not feeling well. I'm a boy.

This song inspires me so much. I look like a potato and I'm proud!! 😂😭

This and scars to the Beautiful are one of the most beautiful songs

As a teenage female, I can relate to this statement. My parents always say “it not important, you can worry about your body appearance later”. But the thing is, I am starting to care about all the pimples, my cuts, my bruises, the list just goes on. I love the message to people (not just people who identify and female) can relate to.

Kudos to these women for their honesty and vulnerability.

It’s been 8 years. This song has finally blown up and got the recognition it deserved. More girls NEED to hear this song ❤

7 years later, if you're watching this, you're a legend.

Message is: be yourself no matter what you look like or act like, just be you

This hits REALLY HARD. I've been planning surgeries like a nose job, BBL, and skin whitening, desperately seeking validation. I believed altering my appearance would make me worthy of love and not just a second option. These feelings cause from years of internalizing societal expectations and personal experiences of rejection. Societal pressures have amplified these insecurities, making me feel I need to change who I am to be loved. It's sparked my journey of self-discovery and healing, encouraging me to challenge the idea that my value depends on others' perceptions.

Here we are, listening to a song that urges us not to hate ourselves, and we have people comparing these women. I WISH songs like these could change the world, but the fact is that people will be mean whether you're natural, dolled up, or something in between. You just have to do what the hell you want to do, and say screw everyone else. Want to be bare-faced and not comb your hair? Do it, and be super confident! Want to beat the hell out of your face and throw on a wig? Do it, and be super confident!

you don't HAVE to try. you CAN if you WANT to, but it's not an OBLIGATION. Far out, some people are just looking into this lovely genuine message wayyy to much.

I remember when this song came out. I was around 13 years old and i remember crying to it. It actually helped my self-esteem in those times. So nearly a decade later, thanks Colbie Caillat!

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? 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 Ohh Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards You don't have to choose, buy it all Do they like you?

Cause I like you

I always coated my face in makeup and cared what everyone thought and then I found out someone from my school was making fun of my instagram pictures and showing other people then blocked me so I couldn't talk to them and they are in a different class than me so I could never talk to them and I was so upset about some of the things they were saying and then I listened to this song and I starting crying this song makes me so happy and it is so encouraging I love it so much thank you Colbie Callat.!

Song: Do you like you? Me: **Begin to cry**

I just listened to this song last night and it speaks very much my situation now I believe in myself and want to listen to that little voice in my heart that says “everything is ok don’t try hard to change things that don’t serve me” ❤

As a grown man, with two young daughters, and a beautiful wife, I think every single one of these women look so much more beautiful as themselves. I LOVE that my wife doesn't do tons of makeup and stuff. I've had girlfriends that did before, and now that I've been with my wife for 10+ years, I'm so glad she's not like that. I love her natural beauty and hair. Men need to stop wanting airbrushed, fake women, and recognize the Goddesses standing in front of them for what they are.

2018. Every time I listen to this song, right after, I walk up to my mirror and say 'I like you.' To all of you, love yourself. Because you are unique and beautiful. Without makeup, even with that messy hair of yours. You're beautiful, always. Believe in yourself, dear. Don't you like you? Cause I like you. ❤️

I didn't know about this song until I saw it on Facebook reels and I'm loving it 😩. She sang it 8 years ago but the lyrics talks about what's happening now.

Anyone 2024?

I usually call my self ugly but listening to this makes me feel pretty

Spread the message. To the person that stays home from school because they’re too depressed to get out of bed, I love you To the person stand in front of the mirror, unable to fight tears as they criticize every inch, I love you. To the person who can’t keep there dinner down because they only lost 2 pounds, I love you To the person who cry on the cold tiles of they bathroom floor with a razor in there hand, I love you To the person that wear long sleeves in the middle of August to cover all their scars, I love you To the person who pop a hand full of pills just to feel normal, I love you To the person who drowned there feeling in a bottle of booze, I love you To the person who watches the person fell in love with someone else, I love you To the person who parents tell them they not good enough, I love you To the person who lock them self in there room whenever mom/Dad have been drinking, I love you To the person who won’t go home because your mom and dad kept fighting , I love you To the person who won’t go home because they afraid to get yell at, I love you To the person who feel hopeless and planning to take your life, I love you And to you!!! Who is reading this who ever you may be. remember you are put on this earth for a reason. And there is always someone out there who love you (even if it’ onlys me)

Colbie, you are a legend. Your music is literally some of the best ever made. Thanks for being true.

This song has made me realize that I shouldn't do my make up and hair for the people around me but for myself. I always gets comments as in: "Who are you trying to impress." And my answer will always be the same; "Me."

This song had me in tears after years of hating myself and being self conscious and trying to change myself. Shocking how much a song can influence you. Honestly a absolutely amazing song for anyone struggling

So many positive songs are coming out. Plz make more.

whos here in 2024? 👇

Make-up can be fun, but every girl and woman needs to know that they are more beautiful than any eye can see, because the most incredible beauty come from the heart:

You don't need make up. You are naturally beautiful. And if someone doesn't like you like that, this person is stupid.

p!nk: you gotta get up and try colbie: you don't have to try

One of the most beautiful songs that make people as they are without resemblance between them, and each person has an advantage that differs from the other in style and method of choice without caring about the opinion of others, and this is very great

This is so touching. ..I'm crying

This song prevented me from my suicide attempt. Now i'm 3 months clean!!!!

Just sent this to my sweet daughter who is 20 and struggling emotionally- her name is Kaycee - please add her to your prayer list and be in unity with me to cover her in prayer. This is an ugly world that has a sweet soul fighting to survive it. Much love, Her momma.

The most important question is "Do you like you?" This song and video is so beautiful!

I see people commenting on whether guys like girls with makeup or not...this isn't about what men like, this is about being confident with who you are and not hating your natural appearance. Its ok to like to wear makeup, although I personally choose not to wear it cuz I hate the feel of it on my face, but its not ok to feel ugly without it. Forget what men do or do not like and live for yourself and love yourself

你不必逼自己做任何改变，你不必试着去努力尝试💙☔️ I don't have to try -Liu YuXin💙

This is a song that resonates with everyone, but from a guy's perspective, it's incredibly powerful. We often feel the pressure to be strong, stoic, and always in control. This song reminds us that it's okay to let go, to show our vulnerabilities, and to simply be ourselves. It's a beautiful message of self-acceptance and embracing your true self, imperfections and all.

Just take a moment to go to the mirror. What do you see? Many people start picking out their flaws. Instead, pick out a flaw you think you have but list why you like that thing. Personally I hate my eyes because they're boring and dull. Instead say you like that thing about you; I love my eyes, people say they sparkle. Feel beautiful, you deserve to

Listening in December 2022. This song has a really beautiful message! Glad I found it and listened to it..❤

As a male going through therapy, constantly insecure about my body image, self doubts and worrying what people might think about me, this song resonates to me a lot too. 😊 Not a chick song at all, in the best meaning possible of the slang. 👏 Thanks, Colbie. ❤

Who is here in 2024😢

My teacher put this on, because we were learning about women stereotypes. I hate the fact that we, womens think that we are not good enough. It makes them lose their confidence, and it makes then not their selves. Thanks for this song

Remember Ladies: Comparison is the thief of joy! Our worst enemy is our own conscience.

9 years later,if you're watching this, you're a legend ❤😊

Ladies always remember this:Making yourself beautiful is not you. you are you. you are the beautiful just the way you are. if you hate yourself don't hate yourself. be nice to everyone. if everyone hates you about how you look, just ingnore them and say to yourself"I am beautiful just the way I am. i don't care if anyone that bullies me doesn't know I am beautiful just I am".

Who else cried during this?? . . . Edit: Thank you for all the likes!

This song really touches my heart a lot and to others too just always love yourself and do you.

I completely forgot about this song but I saw TWICE in London tonight and Dahyun’s cover was so BEAUTIFUL‼️‼️❤️ Such a pretty song!

my crush told me I was ugly and I didn't take it well and this song inspired me to get on with life and forget what he said cause I know im beautiful

It's 2023! I never knew this song is 8yrs old😮 it feels so good to hear❤

Why don't they do more songs and videos like these? I could say a lot more but that sentence is enough. Thank you Sylvie Sullivan

TWICE's Dahyun brought me here with her cover. Thank you for such a meaningful song, Colbie. Listening in 2024 🎶

I've always judged myself so much. I can't post a picture without thinking about it for an hour and then taking it down for any single flaw that I find. I can't seem to accept myself for who I am. I thought that if I tried harder on my looks I would feel better but I don't. I also worry so much about what people think of me, my friends try to make me feel better but it doesn't help. I feel so annoyed of myself and hate how I hurt my mom because I feel this way. People do compliment me but I can never believe them , it is so hard. I hate how I have never talked to a guy and it's stupid but I care. Not a single one. I know it shouldn't make me feel ugly but it does. I spread positivity to others and try to make everyone feel happy and I feel dumb because I can't even do that for myself. 2018- Wow I thought my comment would get lost among the rest, but I received so many positive responses. Thank you so much, people like you all make the world a better place. For those who mentioned they feel the same, remember you don’t have to try ! It’s honestly still difficult to accept my flaws but I’m doing much better than before. Please remember that you’re all so wonderful and beautiful. It may be hard to accept it , but I promise you that you are. 💛

im a guy and i can see the unfair presssures society puts on women. makes me sad.

Wow….I have 5 daughters and with the 2/3rd we listened to and sang along to Colbie Caillat, Michelle Branch and their like. This is a very touching video and song for it is what my wife and daughters sometimes feel they have to do. They are always enough the way they are. I wish they could feel and understand that. Love this song.

I can relate to this song so well... I recently changed friend groups a few weeks ago... I was constantly left out and judged for the way I was... they were all cheerleaders and they all had boyfriends... I was not a cheerleader and I do not have a boyfiends ( don't belive in dating in middle school)... I used to be over weight and got made fun for it... I knew I had to loose weight and I lost 30 pounds by eating healthier and exercising more... when school started this year again I was judge by my "friends"... they told me I was to skinny and I finally realized they were jealous that the boys would talk to me instead of them ... I was happy with myself and was much more active in sport ( I play softball and soccer) I was an overall better athelete... one day I coudnt take the bullying or drama any more... I switched friend groups an snow am in my happy place.. I can now talk to any one and my stress has gone down... I am no longer judged and am living life to the fullest... I wouldn't be who I am if I did not have friends who love me just the way I am❤😉

❤ from the core of my heart.. This song is really inspiring! It's 2023 & it will never get old!

I went through a hard time with depression and bad self esteem.(I was only even 12) I hated the way I looked and always tried to go the extra mile, all the other girls were, and I felt it never did anything. My grandma showed me this song during that time 3 years ago and ever since then I've done things for me and how I'm thriving. Never forget who you truly are and take care of yourself babes❤

We need more music like this ! ❤️

I'm here because of WaWa. This song was playing in WaWa, I never heard it before but I like it. Thanks for posting this song.

I looked in to the mirror and said "im beautiful" And then I died from laughter.

*"Nobody can be perfect for everyone in this world,but everyone can be perfect for himself"* - No Name 2015

I bursted into tears when I saw the beautiful woman take off the wig 1:32😭😭😔😔

I've overcome my appearance anxiety, and can finally fully embrace my looking now. Suffering from self-criticism and take others' mocking too seriously can really distort one's personality, and destroy his or her mental condition. When I was listening to this song, I couldn't help but shed tears. Yeah, knowing how to cherish, trust and rely on ourselves is a valuable ability. Others' opinions and suggestions should only be viewed as recommendation, it's me that decide to take it or not, and only I can define the value of those words. Sincerely, I wish myself had got this point earlier.

I don't care what people think of me. I wear cowboy boots, worn out jeans and a plaid shirt and a cowboy hat. you see me and i'm a pure cowgirl who loves horses and works in a barn, there are many different sides of me and people needs to really get to know me to find out what they are,. i'm really skinny, but because i can't seem to gain weight no matter how hard i try. i put on a little make up but mostly since i work all day i don't. i have bright green eyes and i dye my curly hair Auburn red FOR ME!!!. i look in the mirror and i love the girl looking back at me. I tell girls my age and younger that be proud how you look and who you are don't compare yourself to other girls because no matter how hard you try you will never be perfect no one is. Love yourself and don't care what others think of you. care what you think of yourself be Happy with you!!!! I LOVE how this song and video sends out that message i just hope other girls and boys will learn from it!!! I DON'T try i'm just Love being me!!!!

Flawlessly beautiful. Inspiring in every way! And, no she is not saying "You can't wear make-up!" She's saying simply be you. That if you do wear make-up, wear it because you want to not because you feel like you have to. That being said, all you ladies and gentlemen that do wear make-up... Just know that you are just as gorgeous without it :)

You know what? This lady is right, I should totally be myself. I'm going to school tomorrow in my pink jeans and Brony And Proud t-shirt.

You are loved. “We love because He first loved us.” - 1 John 4:19.

One day i will love myself, but not today :D

If Celine Dion and Jennifer Aniston DNA mixed you would get Colbie Caillat ... Just WOW..

I sick and tired of all the hate comments. This is a beautiful song that says people dont have to cake on makeup, and be skinny just so they can fit in. How is there a bad message in the song?! Because if you think thats a bad message then I think you need to get a brain scan to make sure you still have a brain.

I'd never even heard of this song before my 13 year old daughter told me she's doing her first contemporary solo to it. Awesome message and it's still resonating.

Underrated song. This deserves way more attention. This song always makes me cry because of how much I can relate to it and it will always have a very special place in my heart 💜 ❤
