About the song Miracle

Miracle is the song that Samra will sing as the Azerbaijani entry for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, May 2016.

The song and Samra were the result of an internal selection and were chosen to represent Azerbaijan based on deliberations by the Azerbaijani public broadcaster Ictimai Television (İTV) and an opinion survey that featured a panel of music and television industry experts mixed with a cross section of Eurovision fans from over 35 European nations.

Miracle was previewed on the 13 March 2016 with the release of the official music video.

Samra will perform the song during the first semi-final of the 2016 contest on the 10th May at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. The song is written by the Swedish power house trio of Amir Aly, Jakob “Jakke” Erixson and Henrik Wikström. Henrik of course was a co -writer and composer on Carola’s 2006 Eurovision entry Invincible and has a fantastic pedigree at the Swedish Melodifestivalen competition.

Lyrics of Miracle

You got in my head, boy, like a song
That I kept on singing all alone
But the radio stopped to play long ago
Long ago

Guess I’ve had enough, boy, guess I’m done
Like a bird in fire now it’s gone
Thought I saw myself in you, I made a mistake
There’s nothing to say, I’m walking away

Gonna take a miracle, oh…
Gonna take a miracle to heal this love
Baby, I won’t stay another night
This time I say goodbye, I’m letting you go
Gonna take a miracle, oh…

It was a one-way road from you and I
You rebuilt this castle based on lies
And now we have hit the point of no return
We crash and we burn, you live and you learn

Gonna take a miracle, oh…
Gonna take a miracle to heal this love
Baby, I won’t stay another night
This time I say goodbye, I’m letting you go

Yeah, gonna take a miracle, oh…
Gonna take a miracle to save us now
And I won’t pretend to be alright
My heart is on the line, our end is my start, oh…

(Mira-mira-miracle)
Hey (Mira-mira-mira)
Mira-mira-miracle

(Gonna take a miracle)
(Mira-mira-miracle)
Ooh… (Mira-mira-mira)
Mira-mira-miracle

Oh, gonna take a miracle, oh…
Gonna take a miracle to save us now
Gonna take a mira-mira-miracle, mira-mira-mira
Mira-mira-miracle to save us now
