The project started in Oslo in 2015. Sissel started listening to love songs, because she wanted to find different happy love songs. She listened to songs from the early 1920s and all the way up to today. After choosing her favourites, Sissel discovered that she had also chosen songs that not always was that happy. As Sissel stated on her website, introducing her project: "There is songs about longing, songs about love, songs about being in love. Songs about sadness, happiness and being cheated. And songs about joy and that's how Reflections came about."[1]

When visiting the Norwegian TV-show, Lindmo in August 2019, Sissel told about this project: "It is my wish to invite my audience into my musical world. Not into my personal life, but into my musical universe. Then it is not enough with just one song. I also have to release a music video and a video where I explain my choice, my thoughts around it and fun facts, so people can get behind the song."[2]

In 2016, Sissel contacted drummer and producer Bill Maxwell, who she had been working with on the 1989 album, Soria Moria. He introduced her to several musicians, like the two pianists Bill Cantos and Tim Carmon, who plays the piano and has arranged many of the songs on Reflections.[3] All the songs on the album has been released before by other artists, but there is one exception. "After All" originally was an unrecorded instrumental piece, written by Bill Maxwell and Abraham Laboriel. After Sissel heard it and loved it, Maxwell wrote lyrics for the song. So far, the project has been released in five parts, Reflections I, Reflections II, Reflections III, Reflections IV and Reflections V. There are ten songs in each part, except for Reflections II, that contains 11 songs.
