"Shattered Glass" is a song written by Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe which was originally recorded in 1980 by Scottish singer Ellie Warren.

The session was marked by some conflict, with Branigan challenging the producers' usual recording style, by insisting on singing the whole song through and not simply looping any repeated lyrics,[2] and clashing with Matt Aitken over his habit of smoking in the control room.

Bryan Buss of AllMusic would later write that, from an album that contained "so many [...] successfully evocative cuts [...] lead single 'Shattered Glass' [...] stand[s] out; you can hardly hold back from caroling along.

"[7] A remake of "Shattered Glass" by English singer Natalie Powers was released as a single in June 2009 on Liberty City Records.

[8] The song was also covered by Hazell Dean, who released it as a single in November 2012, including mixes produced by Matt Pop, Pete Ware, and Yisraelee.
