Smoke + Mirrors is the second studio album by Imagine Dragons, released in February 2015 on Interscope / KIDinaKORNER and produced by Alex da Kid, Jayson DeZuzio, Alexander Grant, and Mattman & Robin. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and demonstrated the band's ability to expand their anthemic sound while exploring darker lyrical territory about identity, self-doubt, and the pressures of sudden global fame. Singles 'I Bet My Life,' 'Shots,' and 'Gold' maintained their commercial momentum while pushing toward a more introspective creative direction. The supporting world tour filled arenas and stadiums across every continent, cementing Imagine Dragons as one of the biggest live acts in the world. Smoke + Mirrors sold several million copies worldwide and showed the band stretching creatively beyond the straightforward uplift of their debut.
