Backing his vocals we have a polished pop production that features gorgeous guitar lines seamlessly paired with emotive piano chords and a steady beat that together create an overall warm, emotional atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, Alexander says,
This is a deeply personal song to me. It's the first song I've ever released about my own struggles with anxiety, depression, and OCD. when I was younger and didn't understand why I was feeling this way, it was terrifying. After years of growing, learning, and LOTS of therapy, I decided it was time to write about this side of my life. It's called ‘I'm Trying’. My hopes in putting this song out is to let others know they’re not alone. If you’re struggling, please reach out to friends and family. You are so loved, so cared about, and so deserving of a beautiful life.
