I suddenly have ample time on hand. I have used the time to sample music of youngsters that usually my 23 year daughter listens to. I came across Camila Cabello, a 21 year Cuban American singer. Cabello and Shawn Mendes are romantic partners. I listened to her 2019 album Romance. Apple Music editors speak positively of the album. The songs depict sensibility of love and romance reasonably well and are likeable. Apple Music editors, however point to the last song of the album "First Man" as special. The song is about a daughter expressing her first love to her father before proceeding to move with her chosen lover.
Apple Music says "..But the track that will gain the most attention, and compete for father-daughter dance rotation at every wedding henceforth, is "First Man" -- a beautiful message to the most important male figure in her life, not name Shawn, about finding a person who will care for her as much as he did."
The song goes like this:

Camila sang it during the Grammy ceremony this year. I am sharing the video for all fathers, especially who have marriage age daughters. I hope they enjoy.

The song goes like this:
Yes I'm gonna stay with him tonight
I'll see you in the mornin'
No of course, he won't drink and drive
Can you say bye to mom for me?
Oh you'll like him, he's really kind
And he's funny like you sometimes
And I found someone I really like
Maybe for the first time
No I don't need a jacket
It's not that cold tonight
And you worry, I get it
But he's waiting outside
I swear on my heart
That he's a good man
I know you'll stay up late
Just waiting for me
You held me so tight
Now someone else can
But you were the first man that really loved me
Now you're driving to the airport
Not just me you pick up anymore
I've got eight days off coming up
And I can only come home for four
Yeah I just met his family
They're just like you and mom
He makes me really happy
I think he might be the one, oh
I swear on my heart
That he's a good man
I promise he loves me
He'd never hurt me
You held me so tight
Now someone else can
But you were the first man that really loved me
Now you're on the driveway
Faking a smile
You wish you could tell him he doesn't deserve me
So I had to stop the car and turn around
To tell you you were the first man that really loved me
And before they open up the doors
I say I've never seen you cry before
You say "You've never looked so beautiful
You know you'll always be my little girl"
You're looking at me, while walking down the aisle
With tears in your eyes, maybe he deserves me
You don't even know how much it means to me now
That you were the first man that really loved me, that really loved me
You really love me
