Description
A largely underappreciated song in its own right, the song Reflection in the Disney film Mulan is a first of its time. Featuring a sulking Mulan after being humiliated during the matchmaking ceremony, the title character sings about how she wishes she could just be herself. Putting on makeup and dressing a certain way to impress a man was never a goal in her life, as she only did it to make her family proud. In the song, she starts to understand the importance of making herself happy rather than everyone else. Though it didnt perform as well in the public as Ill Make A Man Out of You, the pop version of Reflection ended up jump-starting Christina Aguileras career as her debut single. The entire Mulan soundtrack has since gained a cult following and Aguilera is still revered today as one of the best pop singers of the century.
