***Reflection*** is the second studio album by American actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove. It was released on June 17, 2022, by Columbia Records. It is her first studio album since 2010's *Sparks Fly*. After re-signing a new recording contract with Columbia Records in early 2020, Cosgrove announced her comeback single "Home", which was released the following day. Following the commercial success of the single, Cosgrove began planning her second album with the Columbia label. Musically, *Reflection* is a pop record that incorporates R&B, electropop, and dance-pop elements. Contributions to the album's production came from several producers who previously worked with Cosgrove on her debut album, including Dr. Luke, Shellback, Greg Kurstin, Ammo, Max Martin and Kool Kojak, and new collaborators such as Pop & Oak, Matthew Koma, Ryan Tedder, DJ Frank E, Andrew Goldstein and Cirkut.

*Reflection* sold 385,000 copies in its first week and peaked at number 1 on the *Billboard* 200 chart in the United States. "Home" was released as the lead single from the album in February 25, 2020, peaking at number 1 on the *Billboard* Hot 100 chart. The song was followed by three singles: "While I Was Sleeping", "Night Shadows" and "Can't Fall Asleep".

## **Background & release**

Cosgrove took a break from her music career to attend college after *iCarly* wrapped. On January 10, 2020, after a hiatus of over seven years, she announced she would record new material, as a promise to her fans and herself to release new music that year. The day before, she re-signed a new recording contract with Columbia Records.

Shortly afterwards, Cosgrove released her comeback single "Home" on February 21, 2020. It was used in the end credits of the Cartoon Network Studios film *We Bare Bears: The Movie*. The song debuted at number one on the *Billboard* Hot 100 and the US Hot Digital Songs chart, with 98,000 copies sold in its first week, becoming Cosgrove's first number-one song on the chart. It became Cosgrove's first entry on the chart since 2010's "Dancing Crazy".

Cosgrove posted a picture of herself in a studio on Instagram in September 2020, making fans think she was recording her second album. About two months later, on December 23, she released a holiday single titled "Christmas Lights".

When talking about the album, Cosgrove said that it would be a more "soulful and occasionally tear-jerking" look into her life and experiences.

* "While I Was Sleeping (Marian Hill Remix)" was released as a Spotify exclusive on February 4, 2022.

## **Unreleased songs**

* "Inner Turmoil" was planned to be the fourth single from the album but was scrapped due to it sounding "depressing & dark", according to Cosgrove. She recorded a demo of the song and a snippet of the song was uploaded to YouTube in May 2022. Cosgrove also said that she cancelled the song due to its different theme, compared to the other songs on the album.

## **Commercial performance**

The album debuted at #43 on the *Billboard* 200 chart. It peaked at #1, up thirty-three spots from the peak of *New Beginnings*. This is likely due to the success of the singles.
