The debut album from Scouting for Girls is self-titled and has sold over 900,000 copies. It reached number 1 in the UK on 20 January 2008, where it remained for two weeks. Seven singles were released from the album including She's So Lovely which was used at the start of the 2008 movie - Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

Scouting for Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
Breathe, breathe in.
Welcome to a town called Original Sin.
Breathe, breathe out.
Easy getting in, it ain't easy getting out.
Cry, out loud.
Don't, don't pause.
You're just another sad case, another lost cause.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
Breathe, breathe In
If only you could see all the trouble I'm in
Breathe, breathe Out
Another house of cards comes tumbling down
Mirror Mirror on the wall, How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
Mirror Mirror on the wall, How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
La la la la la la la la.
The first two lines of the song, "Mirror Mirror on the wall, How could I be such a fool?" implies the singer's disappointment and regret stemming from a certain situation which he/she did not handle well. The singer has made a little mistake, which caused him/her to be caught running around with "Little Miss Naughty," who is a symbol of his/her misjudgment. The presence of the mirror in the lyrics symbolizes the self-disappointing realization of the singer's error.
The next part of the song, "Welcome to a town called Original Sin," suggests that the mistake the singer made is part of the original sin. The singer may have been following the footsteps of humanity and committing sins, which makes it easy to get into trouble. Still, it is not so easy to get out once trapped in it. The lyrics also suggest that the mistake has caused the singer to fall into a sad case and a lost cause, which explains the singer's disbelief in being able to see him/herself in the mirror anymore.
Overall, the song talks about how making a little mistake can throw a person's life into chaos, and how these small seemingly minor errors can have significant and lasting effects.
