"Try Me" is a song originally recorded by English singer Lolita, written by Hinoky Team with production from Italian producer Dave Rodgers. Avex Trax released the song on 21 December 1994 as Lolita's first and only single from the album of the same name. A month later, Japanese girl group Namie Amuro with Super Monkey's recorded their own rendition of the track, subtitled "Try Me (Watashi o Shinjite)" (Try Me (私を信じて), Translate: "Believe Me").

The song with a new track called "Memories (Ashita no Tame ni)" was released as the fifth single overall from the group. It peaked to number 8 on the Oricon chart, marking their highest-charted song at the time, selling 733,000 copies in the country. The group performed the track at the 37th Japan Record Awards.

The song later made its appearance on Amuro's commercial for the sportswear brand Minami in the same year.
