In “First Man”, Camila sings directly to her father, Alejandro, trying to ease his worry about the relationship she was in. Camila revealed that “First Man” was the first song written for Romance, in Nashville. She added:
I was so happy with it… That was definitely the proudest I’ve ever been with...
[Verse 1]
Yes, I'm gonna stay with him tonight
I’ll see you in the mornin'
No, of course he won't drink and drive
Can you say bye to mom for me?
Oh, you’ll like him, he's really kind
And he's funny like you sometimes
And I found someone I really like
Maybe for the first time
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't need a jacket
It's not that cold tonight
And you worry, I get it
But he's waitin' outside
[Chorus]
I swear on my heart that he's a good man
I know you’ll stay up late just waitin’ for me
You held me so tight, now someone else can
But you were the first man that really loved me
[Verse 2]
Now you're driving to the airport
Not just me you pick up anymore
I’ve got eight days off comin' up
And I can only come home for four
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I just met his family
They're just like you and mom (Oh)
He makes me really happy
I think he might be the one, oh
[Chorus]
I swear on my heart that he's a good man
I promise he loves me, he’d never hurt me
You held me so tight, now someone else can
But you were the first man that really loved me
Now you're on the driveway, faking a smile
You wish you could tell him he doesn't deserve me
So I had to stop the car and turn around
To tell you you were the first man that really loved me
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah
[Bridge]
And before they open up the doors
I say, "I've never seen you cry before"
You say, "You've never looked so beautiful
You know you'll always be my little girl"
[Chorus]
You're looking at me while walking down the aisle
With tears in your eyes, maybe he deserves me
You don't even know how much it means to me now
That you were the first man that really loved me
Oh, really loved me
Oh, you really love me

“First Man” was actually the first song that I wrote for the album and I remember walking to the studio that day. I had a bunch of lyrics and a bunch of ideas, but I started talking about my dad. And I started getting really emotional about it. I’ve heard that song – I don’t know how many times – ev...
