"Miracle" is the lead single by British duo Hurts taken off their second studio album "Exile", which was released on 10 March 2013, exactly a day before the album release. The song premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 4 January 2013. This single is available to download on iTunes from 11 January 2013 in various European countries. In Germany, the "Robots Don't Sleep Remix" was released instead. A remix EP was released on 1 March.
Two versions of the music video exist. The first video was filmed in Colindale (London). The video was released on 4 February 2013.
Black colour dominates the video. Black marries the band’s widescreen synthpop with this dark and dramatic journey through a post-apocalyptic shopping centre, peppered with religious imagery and fearless half-clad dancers, ending on a rooftop with the Hurts hashtag-like logo in flames. This version of the video was leaked and then deleted. The official music video was posted on Hurts official Vevo account on 28 February, giving a very different concept from the first version released.
First version was directed by Chris Turner and the second one by Frank Borin.
Hurts performed the single live at The Jonathan Ross Show on 9 February 2013, which was their first performance of the song on a television programme.
