[English]

Whoa–oh, whoa–oh, oh

Whoa–oh, oh

What's up, it's your boy Silentó (whoa–oh)

Sophia Grace, we're 'bout to turn up baby, let's go! (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

I wake up every day like, "Hello, beautiful"

'Cause this world is so crazy and it can bring you down

You're too short, too fat, too skinny, hey!

Well, excuse me if I think that I'm pretty (okay)

So, I don't care what you say, 'cause I'm original (yo)

And I learned how to love me from my head down to my toes

Let 'em know, let 'em know if you're with me, hey!

'Cause I finally found the answer is in me (tell 'em, Sophie)

Whoa–oh, my mama, she did say

Don't you let 'em get you down

Had to learn to love me

That's why I'm talking to the girl in the mirror, whoa–oh

Like even if you're down, better get up, whoa–oh

'Cause every setback's just a setup, whoa–oh

For something just a little bit better

Oh, I'm talking to the girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror, oh

Oh-oh-oh (Sophie)

I go to sleep at night with a smile on my face (okay)

'Cause I know who I am and I can't ever be replaced (oh, yeah)

So go ahead, be proud, be different, hey!

That's what makes you one out of a million

Whoa–oh, my mama, she did say (tell 'em what she said, Sophie)

Don't you let 'em get you down

Had to learn to love me

That's why I'm talking to the girl in the mirror, whoa–oh

Like even if you're down, better get up, whoa–oh

'Cause every setback's just a setup, whoa–oh

For something just a little bit better

Oh, I'm talking to the girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror, oh

(Oh-oh-oh) Silentó

Sophia, you did it, you took it to the top

You gotta keep going, the grind never stops

See you on YouTube with all them views

Yeah, girl, I'm watching you

You got that swagger, you got that glow

For all the doubters, just let them know

Count up more, as the days just go

'Cause I love your style and your rhythm flow

Like oh, ooh, yeah

Yeah, like oh, ooh, yeah

Put your hands in the air

You got that girl power, that girl power

Put your hands up with the girl power

I like it, I won't bite it

Keep it up, girl, 'cause I'm watching

You know it, just kill it

Sophia Grace, your number one chance

That's why I'm talking to the girl in the mirror, whoa–oh

Like even if you're down, better get up, whoa–oh

'Cause every set back's just a setup, whoa–oh

For something just a little bit better

Oh, I'm talking to the girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror

Girl in the mir–

G-girl in the mirror, oh

Oh-oh-oh

Whoa–oh (woo, okay), whoa–oh, oh (yeah)

Whoa–oh, oh (woo, okay), whoa, oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
