For the First Time
Eminem/Royce Da 5'9/Bruno Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's so brand new babe, it's so brand new babe
Don't it feel good babe, don't it feel good babe
'Cause it's so brand new babe, it's so brand new babe
And then here we are (here we are), in this big old empty room
Staring at each other, who's gonna make the first move?
The only place to go is all the way
Oh babe, Is that alright? Is that okay?
Girl no need to be nervous,
'Cause I got you all night, don't you worry about a thing no, no, no,
Just go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Clothes are not required, for what we got planned
Ooh, girl your my desire, your wish is my command
Treat you like a princess, ooh girl your so delicious
Like ice cream on a sunny day, gonna eat you before you melt away, yeah
Oh babe, Is that alright? Is that okay?
Girl no need to be nervous, no, no, no,
'Cause I got you all night, don't you worry about a thing no, no, no,
Just go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Don't it feel good babe, don't it feel good babe
'Cause it's so brand new babe, it's so brand new babe
Don't it feel good babe, don't it feel good babe
'Cause it's so brand new babe, it's so brand new babe
Just go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
Go with it, go with it, go with it
And I will go real slow with it, slow with it
It's our first time
This song, as the title suggests, is about a couple having sex for the first time. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Don't it feel good babe, 'cause it's so brand new babe," emphasizing the newness and excitement of the experience. The first verse sets the scene of the couple in an empty room, hesitant to make the first move but ultimately feeling ready to take things all the way. The second verse amplifies the sexual tension, with the couple shedding their clothes and the singer promising to treat the woman like a princess, devouring her like ice cream before she melts away.
Throughout the song, the singer reassures the woman that it's okay to be nervous and that he will go slowly with her. The bridge repeats the phrase "Just go with it," encouraging her to surrender to the moment and enjoy the experience. The song's overall message is one of sensual pleasure and mutual trust in the context of a new sexual encounter.

Shoutout to Bruno, Em, and Royce. This was one of the defining songs of middle school for me. I was a 13-year-old kid who tried to act funny to make friends, never realizing I had to just be me to make the friends who mattered. I was a kid who made up stories, drew cartoons alone in his room, never thinking too far into the future. Ironically, I was too trapped in my imagination to think big. I don't regret it, or else I wouldn't be the man I am today.
Now I'm 23, and I'm proud to say I've accomplished more than I ever dreamed. I went to college, went abroad, and now I'm putting myself through school to do a job that won't make millions of dollars, but I hope will make a difference for others. And I'm not done yet! I'm still that same kid who likes to write stories and draw pictures, and no matter what, I'm gonna publish those stories someday.
The other day, I felt the saddest I've felt for a while, and it's because this social distancing stuff is finally getting to me. I felt alone and like I wasn't doing anything fulfilling with my life being stuck inside, and that hurt to think about.
But now, listening to one of the most inspirational songs of my teen years, I've been reminded of all I've accomplished and all I still need to do.
For all of you out there who feel as uplifted by this song as I do, you're not alone in this pandemic. I know you don't know me, and I don't know you, but I know that however alone you might feel, you still have things you know you have to do or want to do. Just keep pushing, bit by bit, and you'll get there, even if you didn't get there the way you thought you would. Someday, you're gonna read my stories, and the rest of the world and I will read yours.
