"Try Me Out" is a song by the Italian band Corona. It was released in July 1995 as the third single from their 1995 debut album, The Rhythm of the Night. It was a nightclub hit in many European countries, and although it did not equal the success of "The Rhythm of the Night", the group's first single, it managed to reach number 2 in Italy, number 4 in Spain, number 5 in Finland and number 6 in Denmark and the UK. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Try Me Out" peaked at number 7. Outside Europe, the song peaked at number 7 in Israel, number 10 in Australia and on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the US, and number 43 in New Zealand. The song 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" and 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] Pop Rescue noted it as a "euro dance romp with house pianos and powerful vocals".[3]

"Try Me Out" made an impact on the charts on several continents, becoming a major hit in many countries.

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.[4] The video was uploaded to YouTube in April 2014. In August 2020, it has got almost 2,000,000 views.
