Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yup I'm impressed, go 'head and flex (flex, turn up)
Everybody be hatin' the way that you stealin' the show
'Cause ooh you be killing' 'em just like little Terio
Ooh you can get it, anything you want (anything you want)
And can't nobody (can't nobody) ever tell you no (no, no!)
Don't need no filters on pictures before you post 'em on the gram
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't make 'em quite like you
No no ooh ooh ooh
It ain't braggin' if you know it's true
Ooh, where you from
Must be heaven
You'd be rich if looking good was your profession
Think I'm in love, 'cause you so sexy
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you, I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you, I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talking 'bout you, I'm talking to my own reflection
Why you think I'm puttin' on my favorite perfume?
Why you think this dress so tight that I can barely move?
Why you think I'm dancin' in these uncomfortable shoes?
I did it all, I did it all, I did it all for you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, don't you ever get it confused
No no ooh, ooh ooh
It ain't braggin' if you know it's true
Ooh, where you from? (where you from)
Must be heaven
You'd be rich if looking good was your profession
Think I'm in love, 'cause you so sexy
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you, I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talking 'bout you, I'm talking to my own reflection
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Should I even return his call? (snow white, snow white)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Should I even return his call?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Should I even return his call? (ah ah)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
On the, on the, on-on the wall
Ooh, where you from
Must be heaven (okay)
You'd be rich if looking good was your profession (ching-ching!)
Think I'm in love, 'cause you so sexy
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you, I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talkin' about you, I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
I'm talking to my own reflection
Boy, I ain't talking 'bout you, I'm talking to my own reflection
The song "Reflection" by Fifth Harmony is about self-love and empowerment. The lyrics describe a confident, beautiful person who knows their worth and is unapologetic about it. The singer is admiring their own reflection and celebrating their own uniqueness, despite what others may say or think.
The first verse highlights the fact that others may be jealous of this person's confidence and how they steal the show, but the singer is impressed and encourages them to keep showing off. The second verse emphasizes that this person doesn't need anyone else's approval because they are comfortable in their own skin and can have anything they want. The chorus reiterates the theme of self-love and praises this person's beauty and sexiness.
The bridge brings a slightly different perspective, as the singer asks their reflection if they should even return the call of someone who may not appreciate them like they deserve. In the end, the song is about loving yourself and recognizing your own worth, rather than seeking validation from anyone else.
Overall, "Reflection" is a powerful anthem for anyone who needs a reminder to love themselves and embrace their own unique qualities.
