First Time

Toronto singer songwriter Shyla Gray brings plenty of feeling to “First Time”, a soulful R&B track about the rush of falling for someone and the bittersweet realisation that you can never quite recreate that first spark. The song explores the honeymoon phase with a vulnerable touch, capturing the excitement of new love while quietly asking what happens when that magic fades.

Gray’s rich, sultry vocals give the track its emotional heart, delivering the lyrics with warmth and honesty. There is something effortlessly relatable about her approach, turning a familiar romantic feeling into something intimate and personal. Fans of contemporary R&B and soul will find plenty to enjoy here.

“First Time” is the lead single from Gray’s debut EP, “The Program”, due November 27, 2026. Following her previous single “Need”, Gray continues to explore love, loss and self discovery while showcasing the soulful sound that has helped her build momentum from Toronto.
