"Trying to Love You" is a song written by singer-songwriters Beth Nielsen Chapman and Bill Lloyd. It was originally recorded by Chapman herself for her 2005 studio album, Look. The same year, American country artist Trisha Yearwood included a version on her 2005 studio album, Jasper County. It was eventually spawned as the second single from the album and became a charting Billboard hit on two charts. It received positive reception from music critics and writers.
"Trying to Love You" was originally composed by Beth Nielsen Chapman and Bill Lloyd. In 2004, Chapman recorded the song at several studios located in Franklin, Tennessee and Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions were co-produced by Chapman, Peter Collins and Annie Roboff. The session featured Bill Lloyd playing acoustic guitar in the background. Chapman played several instruments for the song's recording, including the mandolin and guitar.[2] "Trying to Love You" was released on Chapman's studio album Look, which was issued on April 5, 2005, on Compass Records. It was not originally released as a single. In his review of Look, Thom Jurek of Allmusic called the track "an awesome testament to the graininess of love's stages in the everyday life of a committed couple."[1]
