"Feels Like the First Time" is a song by American-British singer Sinitta. The song was released in 1986 as her self-titled debut album's third single. The song performed poorly, peaking at number 45 in the UK in August 1986. It spent 5 weeks on the chart, whereas, in contrast, "So Macho" the album's second single had been on the UK chart for 28 weeks in 1986, peaking at number 2.
In a review published in Smash Hits, Gary and Martin Kemp of the Spandau Ballet band were critical of "Feels Like the First Time", stating they "hate[d] this sort of record" as they considered it tasteless and a "pure production-line soul" which "[took] the human element out"; however, they stated that "So Macho" was "worse".[1]
