"Spiegel" (English: "Mirror") is a 2005 song by a German pop-rap girl group Tic Tac Toe. It was released as their comeback single in December 2005, after a five-year hiatus. The song met with commercial success and was a top 10 hit in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It later appeared on their fourth album Comeback.
The song's lyrics tell about personal problems of three fictional individuals at a group psychotherapy, with each Tic Tac Toe member representing a different character. Jazzy takes the role of a teenage girl called Kerstin who has low self-esteem due to her overweight, Ricky is a young woman Michelle whose modelling career is taking its toll on her life, and Lee represents Bernard, a man caught up in a rat race, whose job has a negative impact on his family. In the song's climax, Bernard pulls out a gun and in a rage commits suicide.
