"Mirror Mirror" (also titled as "Mirror Mirror (Mon Amour)") is a song by the British pop vocal duo Dollar, released on 6 November 1981 by WEA Records as the second single from their third and final studio album, The Dollar Album (1982). The song was co-written by Trevor Horn and Bruce Woolley, and produced by Horn. The song was the follow-up single to "Hand Held in Black and White", which had revived the duo's career in the summer of 1981 when it became their first top 20 hit for a year and a half.
"Mirror Mirror" charted over the Christmas period in 1981 and was the biggest hit of Dollar's career. It reached No. 4 on the UK singles chart and spent a total of 17 weeks there. It also reached No. 5 in Ireland.[2] A music video was made to accompany the song, featuring members David Van Day and Thereza Bazar as wooden dolls coming to life. The B-side of the single was a song written by the duo called "Radio", which had been the opening track on their second studio album The Paris Collection (1980).
