The Story Behind 'Trying My Best' 

​

Trying My Best was written from the heart of a father doing his best to raise his son the right way. It’s about the choices no one sees, the sacrifices that don’t get talked about, and the quiet weight a father carries while trying to protect, guide, and love his child.

​

There’s no handbook for being a dad. Every day brings moments of doubt, second-guessing, and hope that the hard choices are leading somewhere good. The song lives in that space between strength and uncertainty, where love shows up through consistency, patience, and simply not giving up.

​

Ken Goodwin shares the inspiration behind the song:

​

“I wrote Trying My Best about raising our boys and realizing there’s no manual for being a dad. Having a teenager now, especially watching Rayden grow up, has been a constant reminder that all you can really do is show up, make the hard choices, and hope one day they understand you were trying your best.”

​

At its core, Trying My Best is a reflection of fatherhood in real time: imperfect, demanding, and deeply meaningful. It’s a reminder that even when it feels messy or unseen, showing up matters. One day, the miles walked, the lessons taught, and the sacrifices made will be understood and that’s what makes it all worth it.
