one more time

Repeat it, please

One more time means again, with emphasis on repetition—often when previous attempts have failed or when reinforcement is needed: Let's try this one more time.

The phrase can signal patience running thin: I'm going to say this one more time.

In music and performance, it's a call to repeat: One more time from the top!
