Miroir is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer Marie-Mai. The album was produced by Fred St-Gelais. Most of the French titles were recorded in the spring of 2012, with the exception of "Sans Cri Ni Haine", which was released as a promotional single in France in February 2012. Three of the songs ("Young & Wired", "Riptide" and "Heart Attack"), were part of an English-language EP that was recorded in late 2010 but never released. Some French lines were added into "Heart Attack" during 2012 and despite Marie-Mai not being completely pleased with the results, it was included in the final track list as a special request from her mother, who loved the song.

Release

C.O.B.R.A. was released as digital download on 14 August 2012. In an interview, Marie-Mai explained the song's inspiration: "C.O.B.R.A. is a rallying cry, an anthem to those who do not want to merge in the crowd, told Marie-Mai. Fred (St-Gelais, director) and I, we wanted to write a song that would find all its meaning on stage, during a show, with a contagious rhythm...Let yourself get bewitched by the Cobra!."[1] The music video was filmed by director Jonathan Desbiens and produced by Patrick Chevrier and Outan Médias.[2]"C.O.B.R.A." debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 on 27 August 2012 at number 74.[3]
