Making Mirrors is the third studio album by the musician Gotye (Wouter De Backer), released on August 19, 2011. The first single released off the album is Eyes Wide Open, which received generally positive reviews and reached #25 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2010. The follow-up single titled "Somebody That I Used to Know" featuring New Zealand-born singer Kimbra, was released on July 5, 2011. As of July 29, the single has received platinum sales and the #1 position on the Australian iTunes store.

Shortly before the album's release, Gotye spoke to the ABC about the significance of the artwork, the title, and how it symbolises the creative and introspective process of recording the album: "It's more about reflection - the look at yourself that a mirror offers and also the way it gives you a different perspective on things around you. So I guess I feel a bit analogous to what these songs become to me - you know little ways for me to explore my record collection, explore the world of sound that I'm fascinated by, and also sometimes get a different perspective on memories and emotions I've been mulling over that they find voice in these songs".
