"Miracles (Someone Special)" is a song by British rock band Coldplay and American rapper Big Sean.
It was released on 14 July 2017 as part of the Kaleidoscope EP, a companion piece to their seventh studio album, A Head Full of Dreams (2015). It was the first time the band featured a rapper in one of their tracks since Jay-Z's "Lost+". The song is noted for using sampling a line by Michael J. Fox from Back to the Future (1985). It was also ranked among the best of its year by 3voor12, and Panorama.
Background The track was served to contemporary hit radio in Italy as a promotional single upon release. An official lyric video, directed by Ben Mor, was made available in the following day. 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.
