First Time Thing features a soulful sample giving the track huge potential to be an earworm for any listener. Hawaiian/Filipino producer Franskiiz' production is paired with Watrcup’s lyricism and vocal performance makes for a summer smash. The track comes just in time for the ramp up of a summer outside whilst people “cut cut those strings” off their quarantine relationships to be single coming into a wild summer. On the second verse Watrcup lays out the many ways one might cut off a relationship and focus on themselves for a while. Watch the music video below:

Notable Lyrics:

“F*ck with me you’ll never be the same, cause you don’t understand that I got options, I stay in LA LA shawtys like a toxin, so it’s so hard for me to stick to one thing”
“In the first two nights I’ma show y’all things, In the next four weeks we can try them things, In the next six months cut cut those strings, cause I always fall in love with a first time thing”
