‘First Man’ closes out Cabello’s second studio album ‘Romance’ (2019) and was co-produced with Finneas.

NME reviewed the album, saying “the Cuban-American pop queen deviates from her trademark sound” and praising riskier tracks like ‘My Oh My’ (“a roaring cut of sexy, reggaeton-inflected pop”) and ‘First Man’ (“sincere” and “delicately crooning”).

Earlier this year, she performed the ballad live at the 62nd Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where her father watched from the front row.
