"Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" is a song by American singer and songwriter Donna Summer from her third studio album 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 in at eighteen minutes. Edited versions were also released on the 7" single format.

It was more popular with disco audiences, however, becoming Summer's second number one single on the dance chart in May 1976 and remaining atop that chart for three weeks. The song also peak #6 in Spain singles charts and #22 in Spain Radio chart.
