"Mirrors" is a song by the English recording artist Natalia Kills from her debut studio album, Perfectionist (2011).
The track received chart success in some countries of Europe, reaching the top ten of Austria, Germany, and Poland.
Mark "Exit" Goodchild and Tony Ugyal engineered it, while post-production was helmed by Robert Orton and Gene Grimaldi.
[4] AllMusic's Jon O'Brien and AOL Radio writer Matthew Wilkening likened the song to "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics—the former credited "Mirrors"' beat with the similarity, while the latter compared it to an "all fueled-up on Red Bull and steroids" version of the Eurythmics track.
[2][5] Kills hits a falsetto note on the chorus, where she sings, "Turning the lights out / Burning the candles / And the mirrors gonna fog tonight".
[6] Consequence of Sound's Alex Young interpreted the lyrical content as discussing "duplicity of identity, hubris, and objectification", which he also called "more relatable" than the themes portrayed in Perfectionist.
Writing for Consequence of Sound, Alex Young highlighted the song as an "essential track" from Perfectionist, while AllMusic's Jon O'Brien also denoted it as a standout from the album, calling it "pretty stellar".
[19] The video begins with Kills applying red lipstick, in a car mirror, while the instrumental of the song plays.
She leaves the car and passes by a man, who is afterwards seen standing between two women wearing plastic masks of Kills' face.
[20] On 25 April 2011, Kills performed the song at ProSieben's live game show Schlag den Raab.
