"Reflected" is a song by American rock band Alice Cooper, released in 1969 as the first single from their debut album Pretties for You. The single was issued twice; both on 7-inch vinyl. Its first release was on May 19, 1969, preceding the album Pretties for You which was released on June 25. It features a B-side, "Living", which also appeared on the Pretties for You album.

Overview

"Reflected" was written by all five members of the band. It comments on the false lure of Hollywood glitz. “The lyrics were stupid,” Alice Cooper says. “It was that fake, quasi-spiritual 60s thing. We didn’t know what we were talking about.”

Legacy

The band performed the song during a party scene in the film Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970). Both the riff and part of the melody were recycled for "Elected", which appeared on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.
