In celebration of Savi's 5th birthday this month, I wrote this song to remind her of how special she is, and to never settle for less. It's also an audio snapshot of her at 5 years old... a frozen moment we can always look back to!
And now a thank you - THANK YOU fam for riding with me for so long now... so many of you have been here through this journey from a teenager to PARENT?! What a ride. I'm blessed to have you all in my corner! Love y'all and hope you enjoy!
Peace, love and lol.

"Loved Your First" - Gabe Bondoc
I don’t mean to be a nutcase
I don’t mean to be rude
But when I think about your face
There’s just something I do
I get it he’s sweet
I get it he’s kind
And that he makes you feel alright
I wanna let go
No I can’t let go
There are just some things I’ll never get right
I see that look in your eyes
I think I get it but
You think he’s gonna love you better
I just wanna see him try
You think he’s gonna make you happy
He must be one heck of a guy
I’m the one that loved you first
Long before you learned that word
Don’t let him get by without flowers and doorknobs all the time
I’m just tryna be honest
I’m only telling you the truth
It’s gonna take a lot of progress
If he’s tryna fill these shoes
I get it he’s sweet
I get it he’s kind
And that he makes you feel alright
I wanna let go
No I won’t let go
There are just some things I’ll never get right
There goes that look in your eye
I’m trying to get it but
You think he’s gonna love you better
I would love see him try
You think he’s gonna make you happy
He must be one heck of a guy
I’m the one that loved you first
Long before you learned that word
Don’t let him get by without flowers and doorknobs all the time
How I wish you could stay mine forever
But you’ve got to be free
Ooh you know it kills me love
I will always be your fan, your corner
Will always be filled, I’ll always be near
Forever I am yours
I’m hoping that he loves you better
I just wanna that he tries
I’m hoping that he makes you happy
Hoping he’s a heck of a guy
I’m the one that loved you first
Long before your very first word
Don’t let him get by without flowers and doorknobs all the time
You think he’s gonna love you better
I would love see him try
You think he’s gonna make you happy
He must be one heck of a guy
I’m the one that loved you first
Long before you learned that word
Don’t let him get by without flowers and doorknobs all the time

[@amyher926]

I can picture this as the song for the father-daughter dance at weddings.

[@passionsf]

Proud of you and this release bro! Our friendship has spanned from teenagers/young adults, into our 20s, and now 30s as fathers as husbands. I see the love between you and your family and it always touches my heart to see Savi (and Mavi) grow to be so loved by you and Jeannie. ❤️ Always proud to call you my friend and brother!

[@caydenc3697]

[@pandalover1238]

THIS IS SO PRECIOUS

[@pandalover1238]

LOVE THIS FRIENDSHIP

[@krismusni4142]

I grew up listening to you and Gabe endlessly as a teenager, and spending hours in my room with my guitar learning both of your songs. I felt like I grew up with you guys, so It warms my heart to see you guys with such beautiful families. Wishing you guys the best. P.S. I’m proposing tomorrow, so hoping to start a family of my own soon

[@erossemper1373]

Best line of the year: I'm the one who loved you first Long before you learned that word

[@celinacrz]

From writing songs for your wife to writing a song for your daughter 😭 This is so lovely, Gabe!! 🥺❤️

[@sabahancover7566]

I don't know if you know but you're Korean boy group Seventeen Joshua's role model. He said that he looks up to you because he loves your music and voice!

[@brianmamaril5266]

Been following and listening to you since, “Stronger than”, when I was “courting” my wife. Watched you live a few times. Now with a family of my own with 2 beautiful little girls, I’m happy to say that to this day I still listen to your music and can relate on a personal level, even though we’ve never met. Keep doing you.

[@lowkeyaikee]

This is very UNDERRATED!! My second favorite next to The One. Somehow this makes me feel like crying cause I can feel the outpouring inspiration behind the song. Please don't stop making masterpieces like this one. I'm just in love with your songs lately, thank you so much! (I'm wondering if you're ever going back to the Philippines any time after this pandemic and maybe play some of your songs? It would be really wonderful to listen to them live.)
