Kenyan singer Bahati has released a new single titled “My First Love” that brings an unexpected twist to his musical narrative by featuring his baby mama Yvette Obura and her fiancé in the music video. The track blends Bahati’s emotional lyrics with personal life moments, offering fans a layered story of love, growth, and transformation.
In the visuals, Yvette Obura appears alongside her fiancé and scenes that reference the world of Bahati’s earlier relationship. The engagement of Yvette to her new partner has been widely shared on social media, and Bahati publicly congratulated her—adding another layer to the song’s context.
By bringing Yvette and her fiancé into the video, Bahati transforms the single into a statement of acknowledgment and evolution. Rather than focusing on romantic conflict, “My First Love” signals acceptance and moving forward—both for him and for Yvette. The emotional content is underscored by his lyrical reflection on past feelings and the gap between what was and what is now.
From a musical standpoint, the track retains Bahati’s signature blend of melody and storytelling. The video capitalises on the intrigue generated by real-life relationships, engagement announcements, and public reactions—driving listener engagement and encouraging social media sharing. For fans, the story goes beyond the beat—it becomes part of Bahati’s life.
This release is poised to amplify Bahati’s relevance in Kenya’s entertainment space by combining music with personal narrative. It also opens up conversations about co‑parenting, previous relationships, and moving on in the public eye. “My First Love” could become one of his most talked‑about tracks in the year due to its layered context and emotional resonance.
