I wrote this song "One Last Time" about going through the feeling of "I’ve had enough" in a relationship. It was a relationship that I felt very insecure about. I had to dissect every little thing that the other person does, and it was exhausting. This song is about the painful moment when I screamed from the bottom of my heart "This is the one last time!" and finally decided to let go.

One Last Time is recorded in Village Records, CA. Vocals by Alison Qu and Belle Lee (Malaysia), piano by William Li and produced by Dawaun Parker.

Verse 1
I've been counting days to see your face
I've been staring at my phone till it falls in still
And I'd look out at the city wonder where you could be

I've been asking myself is it right to take the risk
I've been made up my mind and let you in again
And I'd believe it when you say I won't hurt you anymore

Chorus
This is the one last time I watch you turn away
This is the one last time I'd wish you say
I can't live without you and I want you to stay
This is the one last time, one last time, time

Verse 2
I've been crossing my heart, hoping for the future days
I've been hearing your best apologies, faking that I'm okay
But as your name turns gray, I know there's another fray
And you disappeared in the blink of an eye

Bridge
Did you see I was so confused but to play in your rules
Don't you know when you walk away, everything in my world follows
Don't you know I was drowning, too

I've been counting days to see your face
I've been staring at my phone till it falls in still
This is the last time I’d wonder where you could be
