"Image" is a song by the American duo Magdalena Bay from their second album, Imaginal Disk (2024). It was released through Mom + Pop Music on July 10, 2024, as the album's second single. Both members of the duo, Matthew Lewin and Mica Tenenbaum, wrote and produced the song. It is a synth-pop, disco, and pop track with mainly bass guitar and synthesizers, which build up to the last chorus. A music video for "Image", directed by Amanda Kramer, premiered alongside the song; it was inspired by Peter Gabriel.
Music critics received "Image" positively, appearing in year-end listicles of the best songs. Some of them noted similarities between Tenenbaum's vocal affectations and those from the Canadian musician Grimes, who was cited by the duo as an inspiration for their early work. A remix version with Grimes was released on October 29, 2024. Magdalena Bay included "Image" on the regular set list of the Imaginal Mystery Tour. To promote the song, they also performed it at their late-night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
