"First Love" is the seventh track from Adele's debut album, 19. It is preceded by "Melt My Heart to Stone" and followed by "Right as Rain." The song was written solely by Adele, in the key of C Major. "First Love" was presumably written about the anonymous first boyfriend that inspired the majority of the record.

Adele played the celesta on the album version of "First Love."

So little to say, but so much time Despite my empty mouth, the words are in my mind Please wear the face, the one where you smile Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry Forgive me, first love, but I'm tired I need to get away to feel again Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself Simply, it's tiring This love has dried up and stayed behind And if I stay, I'll be alive Then choke on words I'd always hide Excuse me, first love, but we're through I need to taste the kiss from someone new Forgive me, first love, but I'm too tired I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire Forgive me, first love Forgive me, first love Forgive me, first love Forgive me, first love Forgive me, forgive me, first love Forgive me, first love
