Music video

Mary Mary also shot a music video for I Sings. The entire music video takes place inside a night club in which Mary Mary sing. Gospel rapper BB Jay takes the third verse while he dances at the club. The singers Brandy Norwood and Sisqo make a guest appearance.

Controversy

Many conservative Christians did not approve of a gospel music video being shot at a night club, citing that it was inappropriate. Mary Mary's next music video (Thank You feat. Kirk Franklin) was a less ambitious, more conservative music video.
