Brooke Hogan is officially back in her pop lane, and this time she’s paying tribute to one of the genre’s most beloved classics and icons. After years away from this kind of release, she’s returned with her version of Aaliyah’s “Try Again,” giving the 2000 hit a fresh take while still honoring everything that made the original so iconic.

The song is a perfect fit for a moment like this. Aaliyah’s “Try Again” remains a pop favorite, and Brooke’s new version feels like a fun, heartfelt nod to a record that helped define an era. It’s the kind of release that reminds listeners how exciting it can be when artists revisit the music that shaped them and make it feel personal in a new way.

Brooke had already hinted that she was leaning back toward pop earlier this year when she released “I Like Boyz” in March. The playful, pop-infused track had fans wondering whether more was on the way, and now this new release makes it clear she’s embracing that side of herself again.

Her earlier music career also left a real mark. Brooke’s debut album, Undiscovered, reached No. 28 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Independent Albums chart, while lead single “About Us” climbed to No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her second studio album followed with dance and pop cuts like “Hey Yo!” and “Strip,” helping establish her as an artist with a real pop sensibility and a knack for fun, catchy music.

This new version of “Try Again” feels like both a tribute and a reset, showing Brooke in a place where she’s clearly having fun and reconnecting with the sound that fits her best.
