In an interview with Essentially Pop, Sophie Simmons stated:
The song is about love, self-sabotage and our attachment to technology.
“‘Black Mirror” was inspired by the Charlie Brooker Netflix program of the same name, and came about in a time when her relationship was in turmoil.

Sophie...
[Verse 1]
It burns like a firework inside my head
Can't learn, think I'm the only girl inside your bed
Touch me in the summer time
Crush me in the winter time
Touch me in the summer time
Crush me in the winter time
[Chorus]
I've been chewed up and spit out and trampled on
But I like it, the taste of a love gone wrong
All this waiting
This feeling inside my bones
I've been staring 'till something lights up my phone
Black mirror
[Verse 2]
It's drugs, I'm addicted and I just can't quit
One sip, his skin is whiskey on my lips
Touch me in the summer time
Crush me in the winter time
Touch me in the summer time
Crush me in the winer time
[Chorus]
I've been chewed up and spit out and trampled on
But I like it, the taste of a love gone wrong
All this waiting
This feeling inside my bones
I've been staring 'till something lights up my phone
Black mirror
I've been chewed up and spit out and trampled on
But I like it, the taste of a love gone wrong
All this waiting
This feeling inside my bones
I've been staring 'till something lights up my phone
Black mirror
Sophie-simmons released Black Mirror on Fri Feb 23 2018.
