“I Tried” Signals a Vulnerable New Chapter for Sadie Jean
Sadie Jean’s “I Tried” emerges as a TikTok-driven alt-pop ballad with emotional depth and intimacy.
Sadie Jean unveils her new single “I Tried,” a heartfelt release steeped in emotional candor. With delicate piano, aching lyrics, and a visual shot in New York, the song marks a return to the intimate storytelling that has defined her artistry.
Already going viral with 30 million+ views on TikTok, “I Tried” captures the experience of accepting heartbreak with grace. The song was directed visually by Lauren Tepfer, a frequent collaborator, whose direction matches the song’s mood with subtle, narrative-driven imagery.
In Sadie’s words:
“I need every boy I’ve ever loved to hear ‘I Tried.’ It perfectly bottles up the feeling of accepting defeat after a relationship turns one sided…”
This release follows the success of Sadie’s previous work, including Simple Like 17 (Deluxe) and the standout single “WYD Now?”, which earned Gold certification and expanded her global audience.
Sadie Jean recently completed her first headline tour, selling out venues across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. She will return to Europe this November for a 20-show tour, connecting directly with fans once again.
With “I Tried,” Sadie opens up a new chapter in her artistry—one rooted in emotion, vulnerability, and connection.
