"First Time Blues adalah tentang perasaan ketika Anda pertama kali merasa patah hati. Itu tidak berubah sepanjang hidup jika Anda benar-benar memiliki kekuatan untuk mencintai dan melakukan segalanya setiap saat. Saya bersalah atas hal itu… melemparkan diri saya ke dalam api hanya untuk terbakar, menyembuhkan, lalu terbakar lagi…atau tidak. Anda tidak pernah tahu. Cinta adalah pertaruhan!" Orianthi berkata.
