"Mirror Man" is a mid-tempo blues and funk[2] song whose lyrics discuss a selfish lover who puts him or herself before anyone else. Henderson revealed to the Official Charts Company that the song was written about "the most self-centred person I’ve ever met," and that she enjoys singing the tune due to its sassy attitude.[3]

Music video[]

The official music video for "Mirror Man" was directed by Colin Tilley and premiered on 9 March 2015.[4] Henderson has described the aesthetic of the video as "graphic" and "edgy", noting that it shows a different side of herself.[5] The video features a panther, whose shapeshifting is meant to symbolize the vanity of the titular "mirror man", and uses special effects to depict Henderson being consumed by fire, sand, and smoke, amongst other elements.[6]
