Love, Laughter, and Lessons: JD Hinton’s ‘Tryin’ to Get It Right’
JD Hinton’s new single, “Tryin’ To Get It Right,” hits with an easy charm. It feels like a song written by someone who’s lived a little, learned a few lessons, and can laugh about it now. From the first line, you can tell Hinton isn’t trying to be perfect — he’s just being honest.
The song follows a man trying to figure love out. He’s not smooth or sure of himself, just trying to do better than before. “He learns every woman is different,” Hinton says. “Line by line, he begins to see he’s in way over his head. But he doesn’t quit. He pleads his case: ‘I’m just tryin’ to get it right.’” That’s the heart of the song — not giving up, even when you don’t have all the answers. The mix of humor and truth gives it a real warmth. It’s the kind of track that sneaks up on you. You start nodding along, then realize the story feels a lot like your own.
When Hinton first performed it, the audience joined in during the last chorus. It wasn’t planned. People just connected with the words. Everyone’s been there — trying to love someone, trying to understand, trying not to mess it all up. JD Hinton’s been around long enough to know what matters most. He’s written songs for films, acted on TV, and even performed for the Pope. But at his core, he’s still a storyteller. Every line in “Tryin’ To Get It Right” sounds like it came straight from real life.
The music itself keeps things simple. No flashy tricks, no overproduction. Just a melody that fits the story and a voice that carries the feeling. Hinton doesn’t hide behind anything — he lets the song breathe. What makes it special is how natural it feels. It’s not trying too hard to be clever. It’s just about being human — messing up, learning, and still showing up.
“Love is always a hope-filled process, even when real life interrupts,” Hinton says. “I’d rather keep aiming for what love can be.” That line sums up the whole song. By the time it ends, you can’t help but hum along. Maybe that’s the point — nobody gets it perfect, but we all keep trying to get it right.
