歌手和作曲家 Colbie Caillat最近做了一件激勵大眾的舉動。這件事情就是她最近製作了一首歌曲《TRY》，為的就是想要提醒大家更愛自己，不要化那麼多妝，就為了取悅其他人。

她去錄音室的時候，很常會受到壓力，因為她感到公司一直想要她變成一個不像她自己的人 (外表和音樂風格)。她沒有因此而投降或是抱怨，反而她寫了一首歌曲，嘗試要鼓勵女性 (或是男性) 要接受鏡子裡沒有化妝或是打扮過的自己。

在Colbie跟和Elle.com的訪談中，訪問者問她，她會不會覺得需要為她的音樂或是她的形象所傳達的訊息負責任。
Colbie說 “當我看到很美的模特兒或是歌手的照片的時候，那讓我也想要看起來跟她們一樣。會讓我覺得如果我不Photoshop我的唱片封面的話，我就會是那個大家覺得長得有點醜的那個人。這也是所有人所感受到的情緒。每個人現在都習慣看到有被Photoshop過的照片。在我一個唱片的封面上，我的一個手臂被Photoshop給削掉很多肉，讓我看起來很瘦。我覺得那不現實。當我在鏡頭前面沒有化妝的時候，我感覺很酷。”
這就是Colbie讓245萬人重獲自信的MV。(歌詞在下面)
