"Miracle" is a song recorded by Romanian recording artist Paula Seling and Romanian-Norwegian singer, songwriter and producer Ovi. It was Romania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This collaboration marks the second time Paula Seling and Ovi have represented Romania at the contest; in 2010, they placed third with the song "Playing with Fire".
The song is featured as part of the album A Bit of Pop Won't Hurt Anyone, to be released by Ovi on 5 May 2014.
"Miracle" was written in June 2013 at Song Farm, a songwriting camp in Sweden. At the camp Ovi requested to work with Phillip Halloun in order to create the song.
