1988 single by Aerosmith
"Angel" is a power ballad[2][3][4] by American rock band Aerosmith. It was written by lead singer Steven Tyler and professional songwriting collaborator Desmond Child.
It was released in 1988 as the third single from the band`s 1987 album, Permanent Vacation. It quickly climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100,[5] which at the time was their highest-charting single ever. The song currently ranks second behind their 1998 smash "I Don`t Want to Miss a Thing", which was Aerosmith`s first (and, as of 2024, only) single to top the Hot 100.[5]
