He described the song as "really a pop tune. I had heard 'Raindrops' by Dee Clark and 'For Your Precious Love' by Jerry Butler, so I wrote my song to fit between them. " He may have been thinking of another Dee Clark song, as "Raindrops" was released two years later after "Try Me". "Try Me" was included on the albums Please Please Please and Try Me.
