In "For the First Time," Ariel sings as she experiences life with legs — not a giant fin — for the first time. "Look at me, suddenly I am on land and I'm free," she sings. She also sees her first fire, a callback to "Part of Your World." At the same time, she begins to realise that life for women on land isn't quite as easy and ideal as she imagined it would be back when she lived under the sea.
