Lil’ Wayne feat. Bruno Mars – Mirror

“Mirror” is a song by American rapper Lil Wayne featuring American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. The second bonus track on the deluxe edition of Tha Carter IV (2011), was released to Urban contemporary radio stations as the sixth and final single on September 13, 2011, through Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Republic Records. Dwayne Carter, Peter Hernandez, Phillip Lawrence and Ramon Owen wrote “Mirror”. Owen also handled production as REO of the Soundkillers, and The Smeezingtons. The song leaked online a few days before the album’s official release in the United States. The track was produced three years before its release. Owen, with Mike Caren’s help, was able to get the track to several rappers, who rejected it. Lil Wayne liked the song after hearing it, however, and his verses were added to Mars’ hook vocals already on the track.

Music critics gave “Mirror” positive reviews praising it for Mars’ smooth, epic hook and Wayne’s introspective verses. The hip-hop and rap ballad has been compared in its composition to “Lighters” (2011) by Bad Meets Evil featuring Bruno Mars and lyrically to Wayne’s single “How to Love” (2011) from the same album. Its lyrics describe the downfalls of life, as well as Wayne’s upbringing, state of mind, past choices and personal life. “Mirror” debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 17 in the United Kingdom. It also peaked in the top 15 of Denmark, Netherlands, and appeared on charts in Switzerland, and Belgium (Flanders). It has been certified platinum in Australia and the United States. In Denmark, it received two different certifications, gold for units shipped, and two times platinum for its streaming numbers.

Antoine Fuqua directed the accompanying music video, filmed in November 2011, with visual effects created by GloriaFX. It depicts Wayne throwing red, black and white paint on the walls of a room creating an undefined painting, while Mars sings on top of a ladder. The video ends with a scene showing a painting of Wayne, toned in red, crucified on the cross holding a mic in his left hand. Critics complimented its aesthetics. Wayne performed the song during his tour in Australia.

“Mirror” was released as the album’s sixth and final single. Young Money, Cash Money and Universal Republic Records released the track to American urban contemporary radio stations, which began adding the track to their playlists on September 13, 2011. On November 1, 2011, the single was re-released in the same format and to rhythmic contemporary stations by Cash Money and Universal Republic Records. The song was made available in the United Kingdom via digital download on December 18, 2011.

REO of the Soundkillers produced “Mirror” with co-production by The Smeezingtons. Dwayne Carter, Peter Hernandez, Philip Lawrence and Ramon Owen wrote the song. Michael “Banger” Cadahia and his assistant Edward “Jewfro” Lidow recorded it at CMR South Studios in Miami, Florida. The single was mixed at the Record Plant in Los Angeles by Fabian Marascuillo, with Ghazi Hourani as mixing assistant. It was mastered by Brian Gardner at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

Ramon “REO” Owen created the instrumental three years before its inclusion on Tha Carter IV. The producer, Reo” Owen of the Soundkillers, with help of Mike Caren, Atlantic Records A&R, was able to get this recording, which already had Bruno Mars singing the hook, heard by industry “heavy-hitters” including rappers Kanye West, Drake, and Nas. They rejected it. Lil Wayne liked the track and decided to keep it. “REO” initially wanted the track to be a part of West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). He to “settle[ed]” for it being included on Wayne’s Tha Carter IV. He felt lucky it was given the amount of material recorded during the time an album is produced. Owen claimed he alone produced the track with The Smeezingtons as co-writers, however, the CD’s liner notes also credit the team as co-producers. “REO” agreed that Wayne’s verses captured the feeling of the song. The track leaked on August 25, 2011.

In late 2014, Ramon “REO” Owen filed a lawsuit against Wayne alleging he had promised him at least $91,000 for his work on the song. According to the lawsuit, Owen never received this payment. On February 19, 2015, Manhattan Federal Court judge, Katherine B. Forrest, order Wayne to pay Owen $100,000 and Young Money to “hand over” their accounting records, as they failed to respond to the allegations in court, after being served with the legal documents in December 2014. During the judgment, Owen stated that he tried to contact Wayne regarding the money for 11 months prior to the lawsuit. According to court filings, Owen is entitled to $91,841.50 in royalties.

In the United States, “Mirror” debuted at its peak of number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number six on the Hot Digital Songs chart, with 149,000 copies sold in its first week. It coincided with the release of Wayne’s album Tha Carter IV. The single peaked at numbers 22 and 25 on the Billboard Rhythmic Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, respectively. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it Platinum for sales of over 1 million copies. “Mirror” peaked at number 46 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Filming for the music video took place in November 2011, directed by Antoine Fuqua. GloriaFX created the visual effects. The company was responsible for the painting and the appearance and disappearance effects among others. Vevo released a teaser of the music video on YouTube on January 27, 2012. The full-length video premiering on Vevo’s official website on January 31, 2012.

The video begins with a shirtless Wayne rapping to the song in a dimly lit workshop, while the camera shows various close-ups of his intricate tattoos. As the chorus begins, Wayne is shown painting the room red as Bruno Mars sings, while seated on the top of a ladder, intercut with shots of him standing up. Wayne is also shown throwing red paint on the wall to create an unformed picture. The rest of the video focuses on Wayne blasting red, black and white paint everywhere. Solo scenes use facial expressions to show his “playful personality”. The bridge begins with Wayne making the sign of the cross, before applying final touches to his painting. It is finally revealed that the painting is of Wayne himself crucified on a cross holding a mic in his left hand. The rather convoluted background includes a face, clouds and lightning, all toned in magnificent red. Wayne and Mars stare at the masterpiece as the video comes to an end. – Wikipedia

LYRICS
[Intro: Lil Wayne]

With everything happening today
You don’t know whether you’re coming or going
But you think that you’re on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don’t blow it

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

Look at me when I’m talking to you
You looking at me but I’m looking through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you’re not satisfied
And I don’t see nobody else
I see myself, I’m looking at the..

[Chorus: Bruno Mars]

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you’ve been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talking to each other again

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I’m with you when you’re all alone
And you correct me when I’m looking wrong
I see that guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pane
I see the scars that remain
I see Wayne, I’m lookin’ at the..

[Chorus: Bruno Mars]

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you’ve been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talking to each other again

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]

Looking at me now I can see my past
Damn, I look just like my fucking dad
Light it up, that’s smoke and mirrors
I even look good in the broken mirror
I see my mama smile, that’s a blessing
I see the change, I see the message
And no message coulda been any clearer
So I’m starting with the man in the..

[Chorus: Bruno Mars & Lil Wayne]

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
MJ taught me that
Through my rise and fall, you’ve been my only friend
Take ’em to Mars, man
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talking to each other again
Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall, you’ve been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we here talking to each other again

[Outro: Lil Wayne & Bruno Mars]

Hey B.P., looks like I did take ’em to Mars this time?
So why are we, talking to each other again…
