"Miami 2 Ibiza" is the second and final single from Swedish House Mafia's debut studio album, Until One, featuring British rapper Tinie Tempah. It was released in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2010, exclusively by Polydor Records. The song also features on Tempah's debut album, Disc-Overy, though it is not an official single from his album. In January 2011, the single was certified Gold in Australia.
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a somewhat positive review stating:
"Urban British pop and commercial European dance are now such comfortable bedfellows that this collaboration between a trio of Scando knob-twiddling types and the best thing to come out of Plumstead since Shampoo barely raises a brow. Up next: Basshunter ft. Ms Dynamite? However, just because the two genres are comfortable bedfellows doesn't mean the earth moves every time they do the dirty. Tinie Tempah steers 'Miami 2 Ibiza' towards its big whooshy bridge and trancey arms-in-the-air chorus with his customary lyrical flair, but the result still feels like the musical equivalent of the Cam 'n' Cleggy coalition. You couldn't accuse it of being ineffective, but you wouldn't say it works entirely seamlessly either.
