Tia Kofi Releases Official Heartstopper Podcast Theme

An end of Summer anthem for queer romance

The UK's most recent Drag Race champion Tia Kofi returns with a beautiful new single 'The First Time'. 

The song was written as the theme tune to the Official Netflix 'Heartstopper' podcast, which accompanies Season 3 of the hit LGBTQ+  series. Tia is hosting the YouTube and audio series, alongside performing the theme tune.

'The First Time' is a swirling emotive electro pop song about falling in love as a queer person for the first time. The lyrics talk of the acceptance and joy this emotion brings into your world after years of hiding who you really are. This is an end of summer anthem for queer romance.
