The Morning X taps into holiday nostalgia to determine which songs defined everyone's first loves, leading to wildly different memories. Crash recalls a cinematic high school romance involving a skateboard and a rock power ballad, while Leslie questions the hidden meaning behind a mixtape. However, the segment takes a sharp turn when Barnes remembers a song that became the soundtrack to a terrifying experience.
