This new song is all about taking advantage of those moments and making them truly special.  :-Nick Jonas shared of "First Time."[3]

Though it does have the family harmonies of the brothers’ past releases, "First Time" really is an older sound, nice and danceable with a bit of an electronica feel. It’s all representative of the evolution of the band  :-Nick Jonas shared of "First Time."[4]

It felt like the kind of song that people that weren't maybe as familiar with our music and maybe wouldn't have called themselves fans would respond positively to because it's so different for us,". "Or, at least, I hope they will and it's one of my favorites, one of all of our favorites, I think from the minute we created it. So hopefully it's a positive reaction and it goes over great live. It's a big party when we play that song."[11]
