Synopsis

Divine's video for "One More Try" presents the trio in a polished late-1990s R&B setting, moving between individual close-ups and coordinated group performances. Their delivery emphasizes the song's emotional plea for reconciliation, with restrained staging and a romantic visual atmosphere rather than a detailed narrative. The clip keeps the focus on Kia Thornton, Nikki Bratcher, and Tonia Tash as they sing about regret, heartbreak, and the hope that a damaged relationship might still be saved.

Lyrics

Had enough danger
With people on the streets
Looking out for angels (angels)
Just tryin tah find some peace mmm

I think it's time (Now I think it's time)
It's time that you let me know (you let me know)
So if you love me, Say you love me
And if u don't.. just let me go

Teach her the things
That I don't want to learn (things that I don't want to learn)
And the last one I had made me cry
