"Miracle Maker" is a song by Australian record producer Dom Dolla, featuring Clementine Douglas released on 15 July 2022. The song was certified gold in Australia in November 2023.

Dolla said the song was influenced by COVID lockdowns, saying, "There weren't any dance floors or opportunities to play shows, so I turned my focus to what got me into dance music. It's been pretty similar to a lot of friends in the scene I've spoken to, everyone's looking back to the '90s and early 2000s sound that first inspired a generation of house music producers."[1]

Dolla told EDM "I decided I wanted to try my hand and write a timeless rave record that not only made listeners nostalgic for the past but excited about the celebrations we all have to come."

At the APRA Music Awards of 2024, the song was nominated for Most Performed Dance/Electronic Work.[2]

Critical reception

Al Newstead from Triple J called the song a "banger" and a "single with big 2000s Euro-rave energy".[1]

Saad Masood from EDM said "The Australian tech house producer ensures each song he crafts has a distinct hook and dancefloor smashing bass. 'Miracle Maker' continues that trend with a blend of 90s rave energy nostalgia and modern, anthemic dance music."[3]

Chris Salce from Acid Stag said "'Miracle Maker' immediately grabs your attention from the word go with its in your face approach, with those mammoth synths setting up a formidable duo with Douglas' commanding vocals that immediately become stuck in your head."[4]
