There’s A First Time For Everything – Charlie Puth (查理·普斯)
Lyrics by：Charlie Puth/Jacob Kasher Hindlin
Never thought that I would actually miss you
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinkin’ how you really messed with my heartbeat
Never thought that I would cry with somebody
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Saw her on the TV
Had the bleached pink hair with the ripped jeans
And I thought “what if I could meet her in real life”
Yeah
I found out that we shared friends
So she came to the house on the weekend
What I had in my head happened later that night
Yeah
All I need is one little memory
To make all these feelings come back up
Yeah
Never thought that I would actually miss you
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinkin’ how you really messed with my heartbeat
Never thought that I would cry with somebody
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Stayed up late night
We were trying our best to pretend like
That when the party’s done we’ll go our separate ways but
We knew yeah we knew
Pretty soon it would be only us two
And after what we did I’d never be the same
Yeah
All I need
I need
Is one little memory
Ohhh
To make all these feelings come back up
Yeah
Never thought that I would actually miss you
No
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you but
Maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinkin’ how you really messed with my heartbeat
Messed with my heartbeat
Never thought that I would cry with somebody
Ohhh
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Ooh woah
Yeah
Maybe there’s a first time for everything
《There’s A First Time For Everything》是美国创作型歌手查理·普斯（Charlie Puth）第三张录音室专辑《CHARLIE》中的一首曲目。这张专辑于2022年10月7日发行，是查理·普斯继2018年的《Voicenotes》后时隔四年的作品，被他本人称为迄今为止“最个人化”的音乐表达。
在音乐风格上，这首歌被定义为80年代合成器流行（Synth-pop）作品。编曲中融入了标志性的合成器鼓点叠加等细节设计，营造出一种既复古又充满活力的氛围。这种风格的选择丰富了整张专辑的音乐多样性，展现了查理·普斯在流行音乐创作上的不同面向。歌曲由查理·普斯与Jacob Kasher Hindlin共同创作词曲，并由查理·普斯本人亲自担任制作人，确保了作品能够完整地传达他个人的情感与艺术构想。
这首歌的核心主题正如其标题所示——“万事皆有第一次”，它细腻地描绘了一段意料之外却又无法抗拒的浪漫邂逅，以及由此引发的种种“第一次”的情感体验。
歌词以第一人称的视角展开叙述，讲述了一个宛如电影情节般的爱情故事。故事的开端源于一次遥远的凝视——“Saw her on the TV / Had the bleached pink hair with the ripped jeans”（在电视上看到她/染着粉色头发穿着破洞牛仔裤）。主角当时只是幻想“what if I could meet her in real life”（如果能在现实生活中见到她会怎样）。然而，命运的安排让两人通过共同的朋友相识，并很快在一次周末聚会中将脑海中的想象变成了现实：“What I had in my head happened later that night”（我脑海里想象的一切都变成现实）。
歌曲反复吟唱的副歌部分，集中表达了这段关系带来的强烈情感冲击。主角惊讶地发现，自己竟然会如此想念一个人（“Never thought that I would actually miss you”），会如此渴望与对方亲近（“Never thought that I'd be dying to kiss you”），甚至会与人一同放声大哭（“Never thought that I would cry with somebody”）。这些从未有过的体验扰乱了他的心跳（“messed with my heartbeat”），让他意识到，原来人生中许多深刻的情感，都始于一次意想不到的相遇。
除了描述相遇的瞬间，歌曲还捕捉了派对结束后，两人独处时那种心照不宣的暧昧氛围。“Stayed up late night... We knew yeah we knew / Pretty soon it would be only us two”（熬到深夜……我们心知肚明/很快这里就只剩我们俩）。故事的结局是主角彻底沉溺在这段关系中，他所需要的仅仅是“one little memory / To make all these feelings come back up”（一点点回忆/就能让我重温所有美妙感觉），这表明这次“第一次”的经历已经在他心中留下了不可磨灭的印记。
