Behind Ariana Grande's "Why Try"

A short-form Beats music documentary that goes inside the studio process behind Ariana Grande’s “Why Try” from My Everything. Built from intimate interview material, recording-session footage, and textured studio details, the piece gives the audience a concise look at how the song came together, with Ariana, Ryan Tedder, and Benny Blanco reflecting on the writing, production, and emotional tone of the track.

As an edit, the piece balances a polished branded-doc style with a more personal behind-the-scenes energy. The cut moves fluidly between conversation, performance, and atmosphere, using the song itself as connective tissue while keeping the story clear and accessible. The result is a compact portrait of the creative process: part making-of featurette, part artist profile, and part snapshot of a pop song taking shape in the room.
