"Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" is a song by Donna Summer from her Love Trilogy album released in 1976. Summer's breakthrough had come in the form of the disco song "Love to Love You Baby" which in its entirety lasted almost seventeen minutes and took up the entire first side of the album of the same name. Due to its success (and also its success as a 12" maxi single) the format was repeated with the next album and with this song. In fact, "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" actually lasted even longer than "Love To Love You Baby" (clocking up over seventeen minutes). Edited versions were also released on the 7" single format.

The song peaked at #80 on the American pop chart. It was more popular with disco audiences, however, becoming Summer's second #1 single on the dance chart in May of 1976 and remaining atop that chart for three weeks.
