Escrita y producida por Swift y Jack Antonoff, es una canción dream pop con tintes folklóricos con voces "embrujadas" y guitarras estridentes.

## Letra

**[Verse 1]**

I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I'll show you every version of yourself tonight

I'll get you out on the floor

Shimmering beautiful

And when I break, it's in a million pieces

**[Chorus]**

Hush, when no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush, I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

**[Verse 2]**

I want you to know

I'm a mirrorball

I can change everything about me to fit in

You are not like the regulars

The masquerade revelers

Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten

**[Chorus]**

Hush, when no one is around, my dear

You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

Hush, I know they said the end is near

But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes

Spinning in my highest heels, love

Shining just for you

**[Bridge]**

And they called off the circus, burned the disco down

When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns

I'm still on that tightrope

I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me

And I'm still a believer, but I don't know why

I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try

I'm still on that trapeze

I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me

**[Outro]**

Because I'm a mirrorball

I'm a mirrorball

And I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
