Composition

[edit]

"Angel" is a ballad about a man who's in love with an angel but realizes that he eventually has to let her go.[1] Randy Shatkowski of Underground Pulse describes the song as an "electronic-tinged lost love ballad" and noted Tyler Connolly's vocals to be his most vulnerable yet.[2]
