Billie Jean

Uh; OK......

Edit: I think Im misunderstanding your response.

OK.
Let's say, I recorded some bass-line many years ago, and have not played it on a regular basis.

What's more, I REMEMBER how picky the singer/customer was trying to find that "perfect" tone, sound, timbre, etc...,
and I remember how much time was spent trying to find a bass guitar that could achieve/get close to the singer's/customer's desired tone, sound, and
I remember how much time the sound engineer spent trying to get that "perfect" mix,
etc...
Now.
If somebody asks me to play that, recorded by me, bass-line that I have not played recently, I'll say, "OK, let me TRY"
Anyway.
We always try to be perfect/strive for perfection no matter how advanced we as a musicians are.
That's why we say, "Let's try one more time".
That's how I use that word, try.
