After a year of musical hiatus, Norwegian singer-songwriter Sigrid returns with the uptempo single “Mirror,” which talks about loving the person you see “in the mirror” — yourself.
The release of the song was first teased by Sigrid on TikTok when she posted a video of herself reacting to a comment...
[Verse 1]
There was an emptiness
I think you met me at a strange time and you anchored me
I felt anonymous
And you were someone who reminded me who I used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
It had to break, I had to go
'Cause it took me walkin' away to really know
[Chorus]
I love who I see lookin' at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror
[Verse 2]
I needed loneliness
To know there's nothing that I can't turn into confidence
I couldn't play pretend
And I'm sorry that you had to pay the consequences, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
It had to break, I had to go
'Cause it took me walkin' away to really know
[Chorus]
I love who I see lookin' at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feelin' right there
In the mirror, in the mirror (In the mirror)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Just fell in love with the person in the mirror
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Just fell in love with the person in the mirror
[Bridge]
But I love who I see lookin' at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror
[Chorus]
I love who I see lookin' at me
In the mirror, in the mirror
Nothing compares to the feeling right there
In the mirror, in the mirror (In the mirror)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Just fell in love with the person in the mirror
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Just fell in love with the person in the mirror

Sigrid has shared about what the song means to her via Tiktok:
So, ‘Mirror’ lyrically for me [is] about how you have to accept yourself. And with that, I mean like you have to accept that sometimes you are a person, you have to be strict, sometimes you have to apologise, sometimes you have to comfo...
