About Love

"First Love" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her eighth studio album, A. K. A. (2014). It was written by Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Ilya Salmanzadeh, and produced by Martin and Ilya, with vocal production being handled by Martin, Peter Carlsson, and Ilya. It was released by Capitol Records as the album's second single on May 1, 2014. The song was first developed when Lopez was talking to Martin, Kotecha and Cory Rooney about relationships during a break from the album recording. A day later, they appeared with the lyrics of the track, and Lopez recorded it. "First Love" is a pop, electropop and R&B song with synth beats, "hard-hitting percussion" and "big drums" as the song's instrumentation, with critics also noting influences from her previous material. Lyrically, "First Love" talks about finding true love and wishing you would have met the person you're with now years ago, so they can be your first love. The song received positive reviews from most music critics, who commended the track for lifting the bar for high-quality pop music, while also praising its "fun and free feel".

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

When you rolled up in the escalade
Saw the dub you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pullin' up your sleeve so I could see the rolley bling

Saw you later in the corner booth
Raisin' up a toast so I would notice you
But your heart?s amiss
Think you outta know
Doesn't matter if you're ballin' out of control

All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yea

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
(Ooh)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

When I took a chance
Thought you'd understand
(You)
(Can't)
Baby credit cards aren't romance
So you're tryna' buy what's already yours
(Understand)
What I need from is not available in stores

Seen a side of you that I really feel
(You)
(Feel)
Doing way too much, never keep it real
(Much)
(Real)
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I've got to go

All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yea

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
(Baby)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(Ooh)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing, a thing, a thing)

Yea, yea, yea
You think the money that you make
(That you make)
Can substitute the time you take
(The time you take)
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
(Oh ho)

(Hey)
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
(Ooh)
There's more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
(My heart)

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(Got my own)
Even if you were broke
My love
(Even if you were broke)
Don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
(Think I wanna no)
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love
Don't cost a thing
(Love don't cost a thing)

(Ooh)
Think you gonna keep me iced, you don't
(Think I gonna no)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't
(Think I wanna no)
If I wanna floss, I got my own
(If I wanna no)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
