"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.
"Reflected" was written by all five members of the band. It comments on the false lure of Hollywood glitz.[2] “The lyrics were stupid,” Alice Cooper says. “It was that fake, quasi-spiritual 60s thing. We didn’t know what we were talking about.”
The band performed the song during a party scene in the film Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970).[3]
Both the riff and part of the melody were recycled for "Elected", which appeared on their 1973 album Billion Dollar Babies.
