"Miracles (Someone Special)" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay and American rapper Big Sean.[2] It was released on 14 July 2017 as the first and only single from Coldplay's thirteenth EP, Kaleidoscope EP.[3] It is the first time the band had featured a rapper on one of its songs since Jay-Z featured on the song "Lost+".[4] The song uses a snippet of a line by Michael J. Fox from Back to the Future.[5]

Music video

An official lyric video for the song was released on 15 July 2017. Directed by Ben Mor, it switches between several photographs, most of them concerning immigrants reaching Ellis Island, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.[6]
