student asking question

I don't well get the meaning of "day one". Does he mean the first day of his life by saying "day one"?

The phrase "day one" is being used here as slang to mean a person who has been there for you since the beginning, through the good and bad times. This is the person who's been with you through it all, and he or she isn't going anywhere any time soon. Ex: She's not just my friend, she's my day one. We've been through a lot together. Ex: That's how I know he's my day one. I can always count on him.
