"Make Believe It's Your First Time" is a song written by Bob Morrison and Johnny Wilson.

Vinton's version was released as a single in late 1979 (backed with "I Remember Loving You") and reached No.

Between 1979 and 1980, Karen Carpenter went to New York to record a solo album with Phil Ramone as producer.

The Carpenters recorded this version of "Make Believe It's Your First Time" for their 1981 album Made in America.

After Karen's death in 1983, the song was placed on the Carpenters' next album, Voice of the Heart, and was released as a single.
