Background
“mirrored heart” is a song of self-reflection and introspection. On it, FKA twigs reminisces about her previous relationships and questions the legitimacy of her romantic history.

On the 1 year anniversary of MAGDALENE, twigs described the color palette for “mirrored heart” on her Instagram AMA:"'rust on iron, oxidized copper swirling, smudged mascara black and the silver of the apple the back of a mac'"twigs' has said about the song:"'People always say, “Whoever you’re with, they should be a reflection of yourself.” So, if you’re looking at someone and you think, “You’re a sh*tbag,” then you have to think about why it was that person, at that time, and what’s connecting you both. What is the reflection? For others that have found a love that is a true reflection of themselves, they just remind me that I don’t have that, a mirrored heart.'"On April 8th, 2020, twigs appeared on an episode of Song Exploder to talk about the process behind the creation of “mirrored heart”.
