What it is

"Reflection" is a song from Disney's Mulan (1998). In the film, Lea Salonga sings it as Mulan after a humiliating, failed meeting with the matchmaker, as she longs to show who she really is but fears disappointing her family. Christina Aguilera recorded the pop version for the end credits; it was her debut solo single and was later included on her self-titled debut album.
