Dolla said the song was influenced by COVID lockdowns, saying, "There weren't any dance floors or opportunities to play shows, so I turned my focus to what got me into dance music. It's been pretty similar to a lot of friends in the scene I've spoken to, everyone's looking back to the '90s and early 2000s sound that first inspired a generation of house music producers." [1]

Dolla told EDM "I decided I wanted to try my hand and write a timeless rave record that not only made listeners nostalgic for the past but excited about the celebrations we all have to come." [2]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2024, the song was nominated for Most Performed Dance/Electronic Work. [3]

Critical reception

Al Newstead from Triple J called the song a "banger" and a "single with big 2000s Euro-rave energy". [1]

Saad Masood from EDM said "The Australian tech house producer ensures each song he crafts has a distinct hook and dancefloor smashing bass. 'Miracle Maker' continues that trend with a blend of 90s rave energy nostalgia and modern, anthemic dance music." [2]

Chris Salce from Acid Stag said "'Miracle Maker' immediately grabs your attention from the word go with its in your face approach, with those mammoth synths setting up a formidable duo with Douglas' commanding vocals that immediately become stuck in your head." [4]
