HEARTFIRST details the singer-songwriter’s feelings for a guy she meets at a party and falls for at first sight. It serves as the lead single off Kelsea’s fourth studio album, Subject To Change. As they progress into the romance, her head tells her to take things one step at a time, but she’s not af...
[Verse 1]
Met him at a party
Accidentally brushed his body
On the way to get a drink at the bar
I couldn't wait 'til later
Talking in the elevator
Then we're kissing in the back of the car
[Pre-Chorus]
That voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't see the way you lookin' at me right now
It may not be next week what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yellin' that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in, baby, with my heart first
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta have it
Gotta see if this works
I gotta have it
Wake up in your t-shirt
[Verse 2]
Who knows what'll happen
Ain't it always kinda magic
When you don't know who's holding the cards? (Ah-ah)
Could bе a wish I never knew ya
Or pеrmanently tattooed ya
Only the moon knows what's in the stars (What's in the stars)
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, that voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't feel your hands on my hips right now
It may not be next year what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yellin' that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in, baby, with my heart first
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta have it
Gotta see if this works (I gotta have it)
I gotta have it
Wake up in your t-shirt
I gotta have it
Diving in heart first (Diving in heart first)
I gotta have it
Ooh, I gotta have ya
[Bridge]
And I can't even stop myself anymore
(Ooh, I gotta have it, yeah-yeah)
Oh, it could be the perfect night outside my front door
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yellin' that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in, baby, with my heart first
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta have it
Gotta see if this works (I gotta have it)
I gotta have it
Wake up in your t-shirt (Wake up in your t-shirt, yeah)
I gotta have it
Diving in heart first (Diving in heart first)
I gotta have it
Yeah, I gotta have ya

It’s not often that I start a song without a hook. This is the first song that maybe I’ve ever written that’s been out into the world that I didn’t start with the title.
