Etymology
The track title can be split into 3 parts: the prefix 'z5', the digits '20120428', and the letters 'mira'. The significance of the letters is obvious; the digits can be interpreted as the date 2012/04/28, or the 28th of April 2012, the date in which the track was recorded or mixed.

The track is one of several in the XenobladeX Original Soundtrack beginning with 'z' and a number (possibly followed by 'b'). The significance of this is that the composer Hiroyuki Sawano gives codenames to tracks before he properly titles them: a letter/abbreviation followed by a number, where the letter/abbreviation corresponds to the soundtrack in question. In the case of Xenoblade Chronicles X, this letter was 'z' (Xenoblade X's Japanese name, ゼノブレイドクロス, can be romanised as Zenobureido Kurosu). The number corresponds to the ordering in which tracks were composed. 'z5' is a holdover from this codename.

Therefore, 'z5m20i12r04a28' decodes into 'The 5th track composed for Xenoblade X, Mira's theme, recorded/mixed on the 28th of April 2012'.
