"Toca's Miracle" is a dance music single by German Eurohouse producers Fragma. It peaked at #1 in the UK charts in April 2000. The song was created by mixing the vocals of Sue Brice's (a.k.a Coco Star) "I Need a Miracle" to the instrumental track of Fragma's "Toca Me".

The original version of "Toca's Miracle" was an illegal bootleg mash up of Coco "I need a Miracle". Originally released by Coco Star in 1996 on Greenlight Recordings, and again in 1997 on EMI Positiva, "I need a Miracle" was written especially for her by Rob Davis and Victor Imbres in 1994. "I need a Miracle" has never been a Fragma song and reached #31 in the UK charts in May 1997 without airplay or official video. The bootleg mix of Fragma "Toca Me" and Coco "I need a Miracle" became popular in Ibiza and some months after the release of "Toca Me", Fragma quickly adopted the track themselves and released an official single version. The song received large amounts of radio airplay and remained popular throughout the following months. "Toca Me" reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1999 and #53 in Australia in January 2000. "Toca's Miracle" reached #1 in the UK in April 2000, #8 in Australia in July 2000 and #99 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
This original version was the 7th best selling single of 2000 in the UK and was promoted Worldwide in live sets by official vocalist Coco Star.
A 2008 remix version of the song was released on April 7, 2008 by EMI Positva.
"Toca's Miracle 2008" has resulted in much success, making #2 on the Australian ARIA Club Charts (#89 on the official singles chart) and #7 in Sweden. A brand new music video for this version of the song was released in March 2008. The song was originally written by Robert Davis and Victor Imbres of Universal Music publishing, for Coco Star as part of a development deal with MCA Inc. Universal Music in 1994. Her vocals are on all commercial releases of "I need a Miracle" and "Toca's Miracle", however she was never part of the Fragma grouping.
"Toca's Miracle 2008" has peaked at #16 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]It featured the vocals of MCA signed artist Coco Star on commercial release by EMI/Positiva.
A bootlegged house music version of the 2008 remix named "Toca's Last Night" was released in late 2007 by a DJ from Liverpool, England. Vocals were replaced by those of P Diddy's track "Last Night" featuring Keisha Cole. This was an underground hit on radio charts around the world and especially in the UK from where it originated.
