First released in 2000 · Album: Romeo Must Die: The Album
Try Again was released on the soundtrack to Romeo Must Die in 2000. The recording pairs Aaliyah’s lead vocal with Timbaland’s production and credits Stephen Garrett and Timothy Mosley as composers.
The backing is organised around a clipped electronic rhythm and a repeating low synthesizer figure. Aaliyah keeps the vocal light and precise, giving the song its balance between rhythmic tension and an encouraging, easily followed refrain.
