"Reflected" is the first single by the rock band Alice Cooper, released in 1969 from the album Pretties for You.
The band also performed the song during a party scene in the film Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970).
The song received no chart performance and had no success, but was re-written in 1972 as " Elected", which is the band's second most successful single (the first being " School's Out"). The lyrics and melody of "Reflected" and "Elected" are unmistakably similar.
The single was issued twice; both on 7-inch vinyl. Its first release was on May 19, 1969, several months before the album it was originally featured on, Pretties for You, was released.
It featured a B-Side, "Living", which also appeared on the Pretties for You album.
To be reflected is to undergo a change in direction at an interface between two different media.
Reflected may also refer to:
- Reflected: Greatest Hits Vol. 2, a 2006 country album
- "Reflected" (song), a 1969 psychedelic rock song
