We Tried!!!” by Eryn Michel: A Danceable Anthem for the End of the World

Eryn Michel’s latest single, We Tried!!!, drops, and so does a douchingly sarcastic dose of existential dread. Having dropped on November 2, 2024, days from the U.S. election, the song has already resonated with people trying to make it through to the future. Co-written with Emily Henry and Kimberly Shires, and produced by Austin Bello, this synth-pop-rock track weaves pulsing beats and wailing guitars against ironic violins to deliver its heartbreaking message: “We might as well dance while we drown.”

Drawing from earthquakes, the Titanic, and a world on the brink, Michel tackles her anxiety with humor and electrifying energy. Best known for her Americana and folk roots, this foray into pop-rock shows the versatility and creativity of this talented performer.

We Tried!!! is for Miley Cyrus or Bebe Rexha fans who want a cathartic release of the perfect balance between danceable melodies and weighty themes. Catch the infectious rhythm of the song and let its message wash over you-because sometimes, dancing through the chaos is the best we can do.
