“I Come First” is a triumphant declaration of independence and self-prioritisation. With an upbeat, soulful tone and empowering lyrics, this track captures the moment you decide to put yourself first — not as an act of defiance, but as a long-overdue celebration of self-worth.

The song opens with clarity and calm: “There’s no problem to be fixed / There’s no path I need to find”. These lines set the scene for a personal rebirth, one rooted in freedom from external expectations. Rather than chase after someone else’s approval or fix someone else’s problems, the narrator embraces a new season of life — blooming with self-acceptance and joy.

The chorus is infectious and powerful:
“I come first / The sun is out and my cheeks are hot...”
Set against imagery of spring and personal awakening, the repeated affirmation reinforces a message that’s both universal and deeply intimate. It’s a song made for windows-down drives, solo walks, or the playlist you turn to when reclaiming your energy.

The bridge offers emotional gravity, reflecting on past sacrifices:
“All my life / I’ve put me last...”
— but it quickly turns that reflection into resolve. There’s no bitterness here, only a clear-eyed commitment to never abandon oneself again.

With vibrant production and heartfelt vocals, “I Come First” serves as an anthem for anyone ready to choose themselves — with pride, power, and joy.

Mi Mate Music – Giving Sound to Silent Struggles

Mi Mate Music is a purpose-driven creative project transforming lived experiences into powerful, emotionally charged tracks. Founded by Dennis Weston, this initiative supports individuals—particularly war veterans living with invisible injuries such as PTSD and other mental health conditions—in expressing what too often goes unsaid.

Through music, we help broken people tell their stories in ways that are honest, raw, and empowering. These tracks are more than just songs—they are lived moments, captured in sound.

Our mission is twofold: to support healing through creative expression, and to foster greater understanding of the silent battles many veterans and others endure daily. Every lyric and every beat is crafted to inspire empathy, connection, and insight into the challenges of mental health injuries.

Whether you're navigating your own journey or seeking to understand someone else's, Mi Mate Music offers a soundtrack grounded in truth, resilience, and hope.

Your support helps us continue turning real stories into music that matters.
