About The Song
George Michael’s “One More Try” is a song from his debut solo studio album, Faith (1987). It was released on 11 April 1988 as the album’s fourth single by Columbia Records. The song is about George Michael addressing a new lover, who he refers to as “teacher” (possibly because he feels he has a lot to learn about love). It seems that he is reluctant to enter into this new love because of past experiences, and that he has been burned and is very bitter to the idea of another relationship. The lyrics of the song delve into the complexities of love and vulnerability. The artist uses his own experiences to describe the struggles he faces in relationships, as well as the personal growth he experiences as a result of the hardships he encounters.
