[5] "'Miracle' is the only song from Love Is Dead that we didn't write and record in the States, instead producing it in London with Steve Mac.

[7][8] According to Rolling Stone's Jon Blistein, the song features "booming percussion cut with laser-like synths" and "an Imagine Dragons-esque drop",[9] with "the production moving between sparse, airy verses and a speaker-rattling chorus".

[12] Lauren O'Neill of Vice praised the song's drop which was "blended with enough unexpected elements that it doesn't feel generic", noting the influence of bands like The Cardigans and Garbage.

[22][23] Mayberry said of the video in a press release: "We're all huge fans of Warren's work and were so excited when he agreed to be the creative director on this.

"[24][25][26] Michael Love Michael of Paper called it "an extended metaphor for today's times: exploring what it means to look truth in the eye — which can often be chaotic, unpredictable, and uncertain — with a steely, focused gaze, like the buddha watching their thoughts float by in the river, without judgment or fear".
