"For the First Time" is a song in the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. It is sung by Ariel (in narration), and it is about her experiences the moment she steps on land after her bargain with Ursula. According to director Rob Marshall, the song was created to almost work as a montage, so they could take Ariel through the experience of coming onto land, what it is like to put on shoes, and have legs. While it is all Ariel had always dreamed of, it is also something daunting and new for her.
