From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Try It on My Own" is a 2003 single released by American R&B Diva Whitney Houston. It is about overcoming doubts or fears so a person can reach the point in their life where they can "try it on their own". The song, like "Whatchulookinat" and "One of Those Days" before it, was a modest hit and was the third single released off Houston's platinum album, Just Whitney. It became a hit on the U.S. adult contemporary singles chart reaching number ten, and the remixed version became a number-one U.S. dance hit. Houston performed "Try It on My Own" on an episode of Boston Public ("Chapter Sixty-Six"), which first aired in May 2003. On May 20, 2003 Arista released a DVD single featuring the videos for "Try It on My Own" and "One of Those Days", both which were certified gold by the RIAA and peaked at number twenty-four on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales chart.
