"Trying" is an unreleased song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde. The song is an outtake from her fourth studio album, Virgin, and is speculated to be featured on a deluxe edition of the album.
Background[]
On June 28, 2025, Lorde teased the song by posting an image of two whiteboards from the Virgin album process, which displayed the album's tracks and their stages in writing, production, vocal recording, and mixing. Fans noticed that three songs on the whiteboards; "Magnetic", "River", and "Trying" were not included on Virgin. These outtakes sparked speculation about a deluxe edition of Virgin that might include these teased tracks, along with rumored outtakes "Invisible Ink" and "Silver Moon".
Trivia[]
- On the Virgin album process whiteboards, "Live?" is written in the vocal recording column of "Trying", hinting that Lorde might have had recorded the vocals for the studio version during a live performance of the song.
