  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did P!nk say about "Try"?
Genius Answer

P!nk was literally one of three artists I thought could sing it because it originally had a two-octave range… Range-wise, it was P!nk, Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera.

As an aside, Greg Kurstin actually produced “Try” and he told me that the vocal that’s on the radio is [P!nk’s] first pass. He took a second pass to be safe, but that was her first pace. It just speaks to what kind of an artist she is.

She didn’t write that song, but she so felt it and embodied it and took the time to make it her own before she even got there to sing it. It wasn’t like, “Cool, I really like that song. You guys got the lyrics?” It was as though she wrote it and sang her ass off.
