"Try Me Out" is a song by Italian Eurodance project Corona, released in July 1995 by ZYX as the third single from their debut album, The Rhythm of the Night (1995). The song was written by Francesco Bontempi, Giorgio Spagna and Annerley Gordon, and contains samples from the 1987 song "Toy" by Teen Dream. Going for a harder, more underground house music sound, it peaked within the top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the UK, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100. Outside Europe, the song was a top-10 hit also in Australia and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, while peaking at number 43 in New Zealand.
Critical reception
AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described the song as a "catchy Euro hit", naming it one of the standout tracks on the album. Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "One of the leading acts of the ongoing Euro-NRG invasion of the pop mainstream unleashes another sparkler from the album The Rhythm of the Night. Corona is as giddy as an ingenue can be, and she is surrounded by a storm of syncopated beats and rollicking piano lines." Writing for Dotmusic, James Masterton said, "Unlike most production-line Italian dance, Corona singles do tend to have some song substance to them which has no doubt helped their chart performance". He concluded, "Top 10 could not be out of the question for this one either."
Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "Less immediate than "The Rhythm of the Night" and "Baby Baby", Corona's "Try Me Out" is another slab of unsubtle Nu-NRG, best served by Lee Marrow's mixes. It's not as immediate or commercial as Corona's two big hits, but it's certain to find an instant home in the upper half of the Top 40." In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue described it as a "Euro dance romp with house pianos and powerful vocals". Daisy & Havoc from the Record Mirror Dance Update rated it four out of five, complimenting it as a "catchy song". Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, declared it as "nasally chanted Italo disco in typical romping 0-131-0bpm Lee Marrow Eurobeat (with some good breaks)".

Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single by FilmMaster Clip. It sees the singer, Olga de Souza performing in different coloured cube-shaped rooms. Red, green and blue rooms appear to be mixed and laid on top of each other, like a Rubik's Cube. The opening and throughout the video, different people are watching a View-Master. At the most, nine cubical rooms are seen at once. They are sliding horizontally, vertical or inclined. Sometimes dancers are performing in these and other times they watches each other, through peepholes between the rooms. At the end all the nine cubes has been solved; top row in blue, middle row in red and bottom row in green.
