One More Try for Love is the sixteenth studio album by American country music artist Ronnie Milsap, released in 1984. The album produced three singles, including the #1 US Country song "Still Losing You" and "Prisoner of the Highway", which peaked at #6 on the Hot Country Singles chart. "She Loves My Car," which hit #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and had an accompanying music video (the first of the country music genre to be featured on MTV), featuring Mariska Hargitay, Hervé Villechaize, Rebecca Holden, Britt Ekland, Exene Cervenka and John Doe, was the album's third and final single.
The album reached #10 on Country charts and peaked at #180 on the Billboard 200. Some of tracks were altered electronically including "She Loves My Car" and "Suburbia," which AllMusic described as "tasteful [and] not overdone."
