Fitting snugly among Michl’s catalog of haunting and mesmerising standout singles like “Kill Our Way To Heaven” and “When You Loved Me Least,” “Die Trying” is an emotional track which continues Michls' style of matching cold, atmospheric synth washes with impressive vocals. The song’s chorus showcases his mesmerising falsetto.

Michl gained substantial buzz with the release of these singles despite listeners not knowing much about the man behind the music. This sense of anonymity allowed his music to speak for itself, which he stated in an interview with Pigeons and Planes:

I wanted everything to be focused on the music. As of right now, my identity as an artist is solely based on my songs. I think a lot of times its about the look, the package, the hype, and I really wanted to stay away from that at the beginning. [sic]
