Trivia
- The song, Mirror, Mirror, is about a girl who has had a fight with her boyfriend and now she is regretting what she said to him. She is thinking, "I should have listened to that voice inside of me' and she is looking into the mirror and saying 'you don't have to tell me who is the biggest fool of all." So the song is really about having regrets.
