What does "歌ってみた" mean? I see it on every cover and many music videos in japanese. I've tried to search for translations, but I can't find any who explains it that well... I know 歌う and assume 歌って is just the -te form, but the "みた" part is confusing. I never see it written "見た" which would mean "seen me sing" or watched me sing or something. (Which still doesn't make sense ;;o_o)

みる here means "to try". You can see this lesson: http://maggiesensei.com/2014/05/12/how-to-use-%E3%80%9C%E3%81%A6%E3%81%BF%E3%82%8B%E3%80%80-te-miru%E3%80%80/
