"Smoke and Mirrors" is a song by American rock band Imagine Dragons. The song serves as the first promotional single and third track from the band's second studio album Smoke + Mirrors (2015). The song peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.
The song touches upon lead-singer Dan Reynolds' disillusionment and uncertainty about religion and Mormonism and how it distracts from reality, similar to how smoke and mirrors was used.[1][2] Tim Cantor, artist of the album and song art for Smoke + Mirrors, used previous art of his to create "a reflection of the two minds in me", similar to the theme of the song.[3]
