De Pillecyn tells the story based on the song ‘Try’ by the American singer Colbie Caillat. In the video clip she removes make-up in front of the camera, until she looks confidently into the lens without a speck of make-up on.
“The lyrics are about the fact that it doesn’t matter what other people think of you, as long as you think you’re beautiful. That message is very close to me. That song actually says what I didn’t do at the time, but what I think now .”
De Pillecyn emotionally explains how she covered the song as a statement, together with her brother. “We put our version online and I received a lot of positive responses. That made me very happy.”
“As a K3 you are always cheerful. So I never said or showed how deeply it sometimes went, although the things that were written about me affected me enormously,” she says, while crying. “I’m happy to share this with you.”
Singer Suzan offers a comforting shoulder and compliments the K3 singer for her openness. “With the positive message that you convey at K3 in your music and beyond, you can really do something beautiful for children,” she responds.
