"Miami" is the eighth track from U2's 1997 album, Pop. "Miami" is perhaps the most experimental track the band has released under its own name. As such, it is a very polarizing song among the U2 fanbase. Featuring a reversed drum beat and an unsettling sonic atmosphere, it, along with "Mofo" are the most non-traditional songs they have yet produced.

When it was played live on the Popmart tour, The Edge added to the chorus of "Miami" an extra guitar part, a snarling Led Zeppelin-esque addition. Pictures of now-dead celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe were flashed on the giant screen behind the band while they played this song.

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