"I Try" is a single by Macy Gray released in 1999. It was Macy Gray's biggest hit to date. It made it to #7 in the UK, #5 in the US and #1 in Australia and New Zealand. On the 2000 Grammy Awards won the "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for this single.
The video for the song, directed by Mark Romanek, depicts Gray waking up, buying flowers, and traveling through New York City to meet a man in a park. At one point she is seen entering a Lexington Avenue subway entrance, which at the time served the 6, E and F lines. The platform which her train arrives on, however, is the 63rd Street Connector which would indeed become the Lexington Avenue F line stop one year later.
On the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated on the "Best Female Video" and "Best Art Direction" fields.
