"Miami" is the eighth track from U2's 1997 album, "Pop". Featuring a reversed drum beat and an unsettling sonic atmosphere, "Miami" is the most non-traditional song they have yet produced, along with "Mofo." Fact|date=February 2007

When it was played live on the PopMart Tour, lead singer Bono donned a carnival hawker's costume outfit and guitarist The Edge added an extra guitar part to the chorus of "Miami". Pictures of now-dead celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, were flashed on the giant screen behind the band while they played this song. Invariably, Bono picked a female member of the audience to come on stage and dance with him towards the song's end which then led into their next number, "Bullet the Blue Sky."

In 2005, "Q" magazine included the song "Miami" in a list of "Ten Terrible Records by Great Artists."
