The lyrics of Sander Kleinenberg's "This is Miami" list several cities by stating what this is not, only to finally establish that they are indeed in Miami. The repetition of this structure makes it seem like the song is consciously rejecting any and every city that may come to mind before finally getting to the point. By the end of the song, the listener is left with the clear message that "this is Miami" and not any other city.
The choice of cities the songwriter decided to mention while establishing what Miami is not is interesting as well. Some of the cities like New York, London, and Paris are some of the most famous cities in the world. Bangkok, Helsinki, and Nirvana, on the other hand, are lesser-known cities. This unusual collection of cities seems to imply that Miami is something entirely different from every other city in existence. The lyrical content may also suggest a certain pride in the uniqueness of Miami, which comes across as the song embraces the sentiment that Miami is one of a kind.
