"Angel" is a song by Jamaican reggae artist Shaggy featuring Rayvon. It was the follow-up to Shaggy's US number-one hit "It Wasn't Me", released late 2000.

The song uses the bass line from "The Joker" by Steve Miller (1973). The chorus melody is from "Angel of the Morning", written by Chip Taylor and originally recorded by singer Evie Sands yet perhaps best known as sung by country pop artist Juice Newton (1981).

Commercial reception
The song debuted at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending December 30, 2000. The song first entered the top 40 at No. 39 on the week ending January 20, 2001. It peaked at No. 1 on the chart on the week ending March 31, 2001 for one week.  It was the 17th most successful song of 2001 in the United States.

It has sold 1,494,000 digital copies in the US as of April 2016.
The song also reached number one in the United Kingdom, as well as number one in Australia, making the song an international chart topper.[6] The success following the release, saw Shaggy clock up his second American and fourth British number one single. It was also a European success, at one point simultaneously topping the charts in the German-speaking territories of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It remains as his last successful single internationally.
