'FIRST TIME' new single by Justin Mattock
OUT MARCH 25TH
Produced in Vancouver, BC by Dan Botch and Garrett Ward of The Renaissance, 'First Time' consists of soft, bright vocals and a swaying groove. With clean punchy guitars, keys, percussion and synths - the song is a blend of pop, country, and alternative. The dynamics of the tame verses are complimented by a climatic pre-chorus loaded with harmonies which rolls into a catchy hook that builds until the tune resolves. Reminiscent of the good times in a relationship and dwelling on loss, the story bounces between past and present.

Lyrics
I could go on about those first times
Like when the moonlight hit your eyes
Back on the porch we danced til sunrise
Our hearts they moved as one
I could go on and on forever
Darlin' it came and went too soon
Now I'm doing all the things we used to do
For the first time without you
We had a single night
Look how the stars aligned
Staying up til morning light with you
How did we get so far
Chasing wandering hearts
Yeah it was home right from the start with you
Late night drives, spilling truths
Lost in time, deja vu
Left behind thoughts of you
But somehow I still feel the same
I could go on about those first times
Like when the moonlight hit your eyes
Back on the porch we danced til sunrise
Our hearts they moved as one
I could go on and on forever
Darlin' it came and went too soon
Now I'm doing all the things we used to do
For the first time without you
Maybe I fell too hard
Into your delicate arms
Yeah we broke and came apart in two
Late night drives, spilling truths
Lost in time, deja vu
Left behind thoughts of you
But somehow I still feel the same
I could go on about those first times
Like when the moonlight hit your eyes
Back on the porch we danced til sunrise
Our hearts they moved as one
I could go on and on forever
Darlin' it came and went too soon
Now I'm doing all the things we used to do
For the first time without you
For the first time without you
For the first time without you
I could go on and on forever
Darlin' it came and went too soon
Now I'm doing all the things we used to do
For the first time without you

Artist bio for release
Justin Mattock is a Canadian Pop-Country artist with bright, heartfelt vocals and lyrics sung over nostalgic, feel-good instrumentation. Comparable to a range of artists from Thomas Rhett to John Mayer, he strays away from genre-specific writing in his music by pulling in feelings and sounds from many different styles. The music he writes comes from personal and others life experiences making each song relatable in one way or another. Inspired by the likes of Morgan Wallen, Dan & Shay, Brett Eldredge and many others, he crafts his songs with care and adds a passionate personal touch to each one. Being in previous Pop-Rock bands Fighting for Ithaca, Woke up Waiting and Chase Your Words, Justin has had the opportunity to share the stage and work along side some of the largest names in the genre with hopes to do the same in his new journey as a country artist. Currently having two previously released singles "By Your Side" and "Sweet Dreams", Mattock is progressing towards being a strong player in the Canadian music scene.
