"Try Me Out" is a song by the Italian band Corona, released in July 1995 as the third single from their debut album, The Rhythm of the Night. It was a club hit in many European countries, and peaked within the Top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Spain, the UK and on the Eurochart Hot 100. Outside Europe, the song reached number 7 in Israel, number 10 in both Australia and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, and number 43 in New Zealand. It contains samples from the 1987 song "Toy" by Teen Dream.

Critical reception[]

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described the song as a "catchy Euro hit", picking it as one of the standout tracks on the album.[1] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "One of the leading acts of the ongoing Euro-NRG invasion of the pop mainstream unleashes another sparkler from the album "The Rhythm of the Night". Corona is as giddy as an ingenue can be, and she is surrounded by a storm of syncopated beats and rollicking piano lines."[2] Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "Less immediate than Rhythm Of The Night and Baby Baby, Corona's Try Me Out is another slab of unsubtle Nu-NRG, best served by Lee Marrow's mixes. It's not as immediate or commercial as Corona's two big hits, but it's certain to find an instant home in the upper half of the Top 40."[3] Daisy & Havoc from the magazine's RM Dance Update rated it four out of five, calling it a "catchy song".[4] Another editor, James Hamilton deemed it "nasally chanted Italo disco in typical romping 0-131-0bpm Lee Marrow Eurobeat (with some good breaks)".[5] Pop Rescue described it as a "euro dance romp with house pianos and powerful vocals".[6]

Music video[]

The music video of "Try Me Out" sees the singer performing in different coloured cube-shaped rooms. Red, green and blue rooms appear to be mixed and laid on top of each other, like a Rubik's Cube. The opening and throughout the video, different people are watching a View-Master. At the most, nine cubical rooms are seen at once. They are sliding horizontally, vertical or inclined. Sometimes dancers are performing in these and other times they watches each other, through peepholes between the rooms. At the end all the nine cubes has been solved; top row in blue, middle row in red and bottom row in green.[8] The video was uploaded to YouTube in April 2014. By August 2020, it had almost 2 million views.
