"Miami" is a 1998 single by American rapper Will Smith from his debut solo album Big Willie Style (1997). It samples The Whispers's 1979 hit "And the Beat Goes On". The song charted at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the UK Singles Chart.
"Miami" won a MTV VMA Best Male Video award. The video, which incorporates the first two verses and refrains of the selection's "radio edit" followed by the third verse and refrain of its "Miami Mix", features an early on-screen appearance of Smith's future Hitch co-star, Eva Mendes.
