Meaning

Elias Soriano explained the meaning of the song saying "I wrote this song as a gigantic 'Fuck You' to all those that doubted this band's will and perseverance. It's for all the naysayers that tried to lead us into defeat, and the fans that have stood behind us for over ten years. It set the tone for the whole record. We're here to wage war on the airwaves, and to stop us is going to take a fucking miracle." [2]

Music video

The song video was directed by Dale "Rage" Resteghini, whose credits include videos for Anthrax, Fall Out Boy, Lil Wayne, The Game, Busta Rhymes, Soulja Boy, and many others. Rage says, "Elias Soriano and I have known each other for a number of years but never had the chance to work together. When he sent me 'Miracle', I was blown away as I think this is one of, if not the best song Nonpoint has ever recorded. [3]
